Three shots, handheld on a VERY windy day (hence the fuzziness). Figured I had to enter something from the New York trip, yes? Anyway, HDR is a good way to kinda balance a hazy into-the-sun mid-day shot.

I agree. This is a very nice piece of work. The textures, composition and balance of negative space with subject all work together to form a dynamic image. The only thing that I think it could use is a touch more contrast, to increase the dramatic tone a little.
My only suggestion would be to make the dark parts a bit blacker to enhance the contrast. Either in levels by sliding the black point slider to the right a bit or with a selective color layer.
God, this is SO UNDERRATED!! I gave this an 8..perhaps b/c I love that bridge..but you handled this difficult lighting and composition so well IMO Deb!
