Lower Manhattan, NYC as seen from Brooklyn. HDR. C&C always appreciated.

Other than "it's gorgeous", I'm at a loss. So,
"It's gorgeous".

Jeremy, thanks a lot! Always appreciate your feedback. Do you feel the colours look right? My wife says it's a bit too much, so I've done a more natural edit. Would love to hear your thoughts on this one as well.

"More natural" You're pulling our leg, right? ;D
Later,

Haven't we seen this one before? I remember commenting something about "nuclear." ;)

Batmura,
I would never dare to do the things you do with color. In my own landscapes I always try to be at least "plausible," and I generally don't care for scenes in which the colors all look over-saturated.
But your photos always have a kind of magic to them. You seem to choose one or two particular colors and exalt them to a wonderful "in your face" level.
So I really like the photos you have posted, including this one. Of these, the second version is almost the same as the first to my eyes, but looks a tiny bit watered down. So I prefer the first one, even if I need sunglasses to look at it.

I had to shoot a refueling operation at a nuclear power plant several years ago. After shooting the refueling, we went into the storage area for the spent fuel rods. The spent fuel rods are stored in a pool of water for all eternity . . . or until they figure out something else to do with them. The fuel rod storage pool look kind of like the foreground in this photo. ;D

Since when is photography supposed to represent reality? This is not a documentary shot, it's a great photo.

Seems your style is just like that.
I say - keep doing it - explore it - one day when you feel to try something different you will change.
But as long as you have fun doing these extreme color water/sun/shoreline images do it.
It must develop in a natural way and I find the image presented here an interesting variation of your current work.
I also like the composition. There's a lot of freedom in what you can do with color in that image, even b/w would work.
Cheers

Yep, keep at it!

Bat, I agree with everything Eric says. What do you mean by "right"? Your colours don't look even close to natural, but it doesn't matter: these aren't documentary shots, they're artistic interpretations of a scene, and I like them a lot.

Great composition - strangely I'm drawn to the colour too :-)
