So good to see you on the front page, Steve. One of the best 'real life' photographers on the site finally gets some recognition. I hope it will encourage some of the skimmers to have a closer look at your portfolio & see what documentary photography as art is about.
Post actions
Impressive! (Added to my Faves).
Post actions
good ol Gotham city...you sure know how to show it. Congrats on your first ribbon.

Hey awesome shot. I'm a BIG fan of the FishEye. I have two of them myself. I wanted to enter a shot using my 8mm Peleng, but just couldn't find the time to shoot that week. I'm glad because it would have paled compared to this tremendous capture. I love NY and I love the FE. Very well done and well earned ribbon. CONGRATS!

I know I probably sound like a newbie, but I see post editing all the time, and people always put, "USM", what is thatt??

Post actions
Congrats on your first ribbon !!
Post actions
Wow. This makes me change my feelings about the fisheye lens! I want one! Exceptional and memorable photograph. Well done.
Post actions
Awesome comp and post-processing. I love seeing great NY photos b/c when you're familiar w/ a location, seeing how someone else shoots it provides a different and perhaps deeper experience of a photo than when you haven't witnessed the place with your own eyes.
Post actions
Don't worry folks, nothing you couldn't do with a $3000 lens. LOL Just kidding Steve, wow I know a guy who got 4th place. Excellent work. I knew it was you when I saw it for the first time but that isn't why I gave it a 9, it is worth a 9 at least and you ended up 4th and I am so happy for you.

Brilliant perspective on such a cliched location. Really, the fisheye just works here! This should be in New York Magazine or some other publication somewhere...
Post actions
Steve! Congratulations on your 4th placing and personal best with this very cool image.... thought this was you! Great work!
Post actions
Congrats on 4th place and a great shot.

I was sure you'd get the blue. I'm so sorry you didn't. This really is an amazing photo. Excellent job.

4th place is amazing. Ribbon' s don't mean much ,consistency is key, and shots like this are just jawdropping. A great piece of stock photography.

Even it it's accidental... the "Need more space" billboard plays off the challenge theme so wonderfuly! I love the ominous sky too.

What happened to Times Square!!! Nice fisheye.

Very interesting, a little on the dark side though, still a great shot, 9

classic use of wide angle - - sky makes this a total cold metal package.
Post actions
Cool processing on this shot. I think it really goes well with the fisheye effect. Has a neat feel. Very dramatic. Nice detail. Great job.

I think it's the sharp contrasty feel which gives this that extra kick. 10

Very striking image. Wonderful use of the ish-eye. Nice composition with the 2 large buildings making a nice framing of the square. I like the processing very much for an added dramatic impact.

Holy Lord. This rocks! I especially like the "Need More Space" sign on the left. ;) I thought I had found a picture earlier that screamed pawdrix but this one is the one for sure. I have GOT to go to NY now!!!! :)

Nice distortion. Great colors. The dark colors give the image a dark mood. This is one of the better photos for this challenge. Good job. Deserves a ribbon...10.
Post actions
What a creative way to show NYC! I think it's my all time favorite Times Square photo! 10
Post actions
This kicks all kinds of butt!! Fantastic shot, really!! :-)
Post actions
wow, that's quite the shot! i really like it, but might like the colours a bit punchier to show off the city lights...great work!
Post actions
Bladerunner feeling... nice
Post actions
great shot. i love the angle and the colors=10
Post actions
My top pick of the challenge. All I can say is nicely done.
Post actions
ahhh the true wideangle lens (I love it!!) not really a unique shot of the city... but well exposed and lit, and nicely done overall. I like the colors you have chosen to bring out within the photo... makes it less busy, more artsy, and more interesting. Nice job.
Post actions
Ohh, uhh, ahhhhhh - NICE! I betcha this one will ribbon. ~10
Post actions
FUN@@@ Love the fish eye. Great color and contrast too. The sky rocks.
