    I think this is gorgeous.
    I was just shooting from my office floor (25th floor) with my 50mm lol--I got but a tiny snippet of this. I really like this! Makes me glad I didn't post my version right before this though:)
    May I ask what lens you used and where were you standing when you shot it--looks like you might have been on a cloud.

    Bravo that you pulled this off hand held.

    Great shot, especially for handheld. Most people sell their 18-55, but like you, I kept mine, and get really nice shots with it.

    Beautiful shot and angle. The B&W treatment really makes this.

    awww, thank you so much for your comments! i really appreciate it. i really love this city and hope to get there again soon!

    @Daytony: the kit costs me 10bucks more than body-only, so i took it. and sure, it is not a high-end lense, but unless i can afford a 800$lense i will stick with it. i am really satisfied with the kit-lense so far.

    Well taken! Besides being technically well done, it really conveys the place as a crowded collection of skyscrapers.

    "technically well done" - program-automatic and hand-held:ivar

    but thanks! pictures of new york (or other skyscraper-crowded cities) remind me of "where is waldo?" there is soo much to see
