I had this concept for a while but didnt get a chance to actually shoot it till the last minute, shot was taken on my way to school from nyc on the deadline sunday. And I got to school around 11pm which only left an hour for selecting the right shot and all that other good stuff!
My intended message was political in nature, but as long as the viewer came away feeling something, even as simple as wow, thats a neat shot, I feel that I have accomplished something.

'wow, thats a neat shot'
Really though, this is stunning. You know, there really isn't anything I would like to see differently here. I think you captured a moment beautifully. (even if it IS edited, I can feel this moment)
The color is perfect in my opinion. Focus and clarity are great. I love the softness of the clouds and the crispness of the silhouetted Liberty.
Having Liberty in the dead center of the photo was a concern for me, however, upon looking at it in depth, it's perfect. I wouldn't want to see it moved to either side or anywhere. I like it right where it is.
I love the large amount of sky you put in here. Works really well with the small amount of silhouette.
Again, there is nothing I'd like to see differently. Great shot. Would have gotten a 10 from me. Congrats on this beauty.

I moved away from New York state over a year ago, and your photo with its terrific colors and silhouette of Lady Liberty makes me home sick...(sneaks off to get a kleenex) :-)
I bet this is a fair amount different from the original, but hey we did it all the time with filters. it does capture a feeling of heat rather than darkness. Still, I liked it and gave it an 8.
Wonderful shot! Not only is it just pleasing to look at...it "says" something...I like that in a picture. An excellent dramatic image...kudos! ...into my favs it goes.
