You have a wonderful photograph here in a really good dynamic composition. That sunset and and the silhouettes are a photographers dream scene and you have really captured a good image of it. However I have to say that white triangle should disappear as quickly as possible. I do not know what it is, but it certainly spoils the shot for me! Otherwise, very good work!!

    Okay,, now it's unanimous. Get rid of the white triangle. It Times Square so I thought it was important, but clearly it ruins the aesthetic. Thanks for the input.

Nice well framed capture, the silhouette of the building really sets off the colorful sky, any way we can tone down that bright spot on the right. You have a good eye for this capture, well done.

    Thanks Tony. I have mixed feelings about that bright spot. It's Times Square which defines 42nd St with is garishness. I guess it doesn't have to define this photo but somehow the silouette of 42nd st isn't the same without it. That isn't to say it couldn't be toned down, of course.....Hmmmm

I love New York. What I like about this photo is twofold. The framing and the colors. The fact that it is on 42nd St. in New York just adds to the romance.
Great Shot.

    Thanks so much. I think it's the 'drama' of 42nd st that grabbed me.

Very cool shot. I really like how you composed the shot using the buildings to frame it. Great silhouette and very good DOF.

Great photo!
I really love this.
The dark buildings framing the left and right sides of the frame make the sky beyond really pop.
Love just a hint of sunset clouds in the background.
Very dramatic and attention-getting photo!

I like the way you've framed this sunset. It's creative. The triangle of bright white is distracting though. The building on the left has some detail, the one on the right has very little, but they work to frame the scene.

    Thanks so much. I was in conflict about the triangle. To include the light of Times Square seemed to make it about 42nd st, but It certainly is distracting. Paula
