Now that I think about it, here is my previous post for comparison.

Of the two I prefer the second one. The first is too bland, but on the second one you may not want to make the small building at the bottom so bright. To me it distracts from the 3 skyscrapers

i like #2, i like what you have done with the lower buildings, i just dont like the sky....more of a grad look would suit me....not the outer-edge glow....

i like #1 also, just seems the lower building need to be lightend up to me....

The Chrysler Building, my favorite!

My 2 cents, I prefer the second. The color toning and contrast are very moody and bold, but I'm not too crazy about the halo. I'd have to say that the color version is a little too flat. It also looks like you did a lot of dodging and burning on the foreground buildings, which I find a little distracting in the color version but it works in the other version.

I have to agree with Bryan. #2 is very moody, but the halo is too strong. See if you can take that down a notch or two.

#1 is a little bland. Maybe just adding some contrast and saturation, as well as burning in the skyskrapers, could really add to the photo.

Lost in the critique of the two is how well framed I think that shot is. Great job. I like the second shot but also agree to pull back the glow a bit and you're set.
