 Yes I know that there are technically more then seven ... but come on folks there are seven main ones to me!

Score's gonna get rocked for that...and I predict at LEAST seven comments stating so. Well...I like the shot and I'll like some feedback so there you go.

I hate to be a picky bastard about this, but I'm seeing more than 7 cranes. If the 4 big things aren't cranes, then I'm only seeing 6 cranes. If they ARE cranes, then I see 10. Either way, it isn't 7. I could easily be wrong, but I zoomed in and that's what I found. Anyway, about the image itself...I think it's very beautiful. I love the blue at the bottom against the orange at the top. The way the sun comes from behind is great as well. Nice focus and clarity and the photo is overall very nice. ~Heather~

Fantastic shot. A few too many cranes but I can't hold it against you.

Fabolous colors (actually I can count 9 of the cranes but who cares...). Really like this, good contrast and sharpness, well composed with statue masking the sun...

It's simply incredible...
Congrats for the top ten !

Wow. gorgeous silhouettes. It works without the top half too and makes for a more intense picture, though I'm not sure which way I like better. A bit of a stretch to say the distant cranes are the subject, but I'll give you that.

go back at that time for landmarks! its a stunning picture of the statue
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nice picture, reminds me of one of my own... too bad the seven part is not very convincing (I count anywhere between 4 and 10) and the cranes aren't exactly the main subjects.

 12/01/2004 12:08:45 PM
I see a lot more then 7 cranes in the backround

great shot! nice colours

This shot looks familiar... Just my imagination?
Except for the fact that I count 8 cranes (that really doesn't matter) I really like the shot. The colours are nice, and the statue of liberty sticks out against the background. Well done.

 12/01/2004 05:29:01 AM
I can see 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/01/2004 03:27:57 AM
Wow that's a nice picture. But the challenge states that there should be 7 of the MAIN subject, which I think is the statue.

Lovely colors in this shot. I like the sun peaking from behind the statue of liberty. Cranes aren't that interesting, but the rest of the shot is.

nice shot, but where is the 7 ?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/30/2004 08:28:41 PM
I think this will score well. You could enter the same shot in landmarks. I wonder if anyone has ever done that. Good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/30/2004 07:44:06 PM
top ten
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The bridge, sunset and SoL take away from the cranes being the main subject of the shot. But, nice capture anyway.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful shot, but which cranes are you counting? I see more than 7. I would also suggest cropping the top off. The blank blueish part doesn't add much.
