Looks like I visited the same places as @Donger and @SatNavSaysStraightOn :

Thank you and no, sadly, it was closed to the public.

Shame. I'd love to return as I didn't get chance to go to the rockerfeller centre and 'top the rock'... barely even strayed into central park or the financial district or do tons of other things I wanted to do. This is my favourite photo (montage) from the ESB. (ps... your 'north from the ESB' photo is more south-east)

One from my holiday just gone by...

OK so technically the sun is totally overexposed despite the -2EV it was taken at (with the built in ND filter on) but I still rather like it. It is a sundog/parhelia which means you will always be shooting into the sun and I only had my small compact camera with me. They also don't last long, so you pretty much have to put up with the surroundings you have at hand... hence the caravans in the caravan park....

Why not just crop out the ground section? It's too dark to add any interest features and doesn't fit in with the meteorological nature of the picture anyway...

I couldn't come up with anything that worked for me and my memories of it and came to thee conclusion that I would need to either only leave a very thin black line at the bottom which didn't balance the photo or would need to cut a caravan in half which whilst I am would happily take a chainsaw to one, just doesn't seem to work in a photo!

The image (and debate) reminds me of one my eldest took this summer, at West Bay in Dorset:

Needs more sand

Needs more sand

problem is that with the lens on the camera the probability is that it was at its widest so adding more sand to the bottom would leave the sun and the burnt out area way too close to the top of the frame therefore making it worse not better... the sun would have been better off more towards the right hand third though...
