Top of the Rock


Articles: Skyscraper, GE Building, and a cropped version appears as the above-the-fold picture in New York City

Visible features from left to right include the Chrysler Building (behind the MetLife Building), Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, Verrazano Narrows Bridge (on the horizon), MetLife Tower (with the white illuminated pointy top), the Empire State Building (illuminated red and green for the holiday season) and the Condé Nast Building (with the large spire).

Lower deck is visible on the right edge of the frame.

 * Support I like these shots, I love those cities. When I finally get out of here I would like to live somplace like this for a few years. TomStar81 08:09, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.png|15px]] Support Probably the best pano I've seen here yet - and that's saying something! Timing is perfect, as is stitching. Nice colors/sharpness and the location is great. The image quality may not be as great this pic, but we dont all have 5D's :-). Added two edits, preference: Edit 1, original, Edit 2 --Fir0002 style="color:#C6CACC; background:#F8FCFF">www 10:50, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support (original). Nice exposure, just the right balance. --Janke | Talk 10:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support - Any version, although I'm leaning towards edit 2 :D -- light darkness (talk) 15:37, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, Edit2 looks a bit funky on my screen, it introduces light blotches in the sky (left of Empire State and around the group of three clouds right of Condé Nast) and makes the clouds look different from what they actually looked (Are those airbrushed?). Also it burns out several highlights :-(. --Dschwen 16:09, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Origional I love the picture but don't think that the picture of the day should be an edited version. BWF89 16:53, March 27 2006
 * Support Original Just looks better with the darker city. The contrast is fun. - M ask [[Image:Flag_of_Alaska.svg|20 px]] 19:33, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support (any) a cliché, but a great one. –Joke 21:33, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support with nominator, i.e. I support whichever version Dschwen ends up supporting because I've looked at the original at full size and it's superb but I'm too lazy to view all versions at that size :-) ~ Veledan • Talk 18:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support any, great shot. Procrastinator-General 23:50, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Original. The darker picture looks much more natural. Kaldari 04:15, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Very few panoramic shots here, and this one's nice. Tobb 03:07, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
