I drove my girlfriend to JFK airport at two in the morning. I decided to go find a spot in NJ where I could take a night/early morning shot of the city. I took the shot and then fell asleep in my car in a parking lot.
I was soo tired that I didn't realize until later that I made a big mistake... I didn't shoot in RAW. I am still very pleased with the results.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Love that you took the shot with the pillar stumps in the forground....makes the picture all the better. You should be very proud of this shot.
This looks like it was shot from the new football field in Weehawaken. Nice job. I always have shot at sunset from near the Charthouse. I am going to have to get up pretty early to grab a lovely shot like this.
Your foreground choice is striking and makes this image more than just your ordinary cityscape shot - I like it. I think if the colored reflections in the water had not been long enough to extend into your foreground, it might not have been as effective a shot - the reflections seem to serve the purpose of marrying the foreground to the background.
