This is a view of NYC from a hotel in NJ. I am unsure of the limits of basic editing so the only post-processing I did was to resize the image so that it is less than 150kb and within the 160-640pix dimensions.

I'm not sure that I like the horizon cutting across the center of the frame. although i like that you've encorperated a new dimension by adding the lamp post and the brick walkway I'm not sure it really makes this an interesting shot.
Shaky, poorly-composed image. It looks as though it were hastily snapped off with a decent camera-phone. Also, the horizon is noticeably tilted, and that seriously hurts the picture.
Too much walkway in the foreground for me, but I see you kind of had to position yourself that way to maintain your perspective, cover the wide angle, and keep the city line straight on the horizon. Tough situation.
Not a bad shot. Perhaps could have been bigger. I would personaly have shot over the fence and possibly gone for a panoramic shot. It's a good effort though.
