Statue of Liberty at Sunset. Taken from the Staten Island Ferry on its way to Manhattan.

Post Processing: Levels, Curves, Contrast, Saturation.

I am thinking about burning out the lens flare as commented.

I have to say, I'm in agreement with what the others have said. The sun really adds an extra bit of natural POW to the shot. The flag to the bottom right is a nice added bonus. The silhouette, orange/yellow tones with her as the focal point - bravo!!

Totally amazing photo with the intense color and detail in the sky. A very beautiful silhouette! Wish that sun was just a little less hot.

I love this shot. Seen this view many times when staying out late. but, we won't talk about that. As JP suggested, I might crop out most of the water, leaving just a touch.

amazing. I'd burn out the lens flare but everything else is perfect. such great timing.

Fantastic shot here. This is a beautiful silhouette of Lady Liberty. Personally, I would crop out the water in an effort to get the statue out of the exact center of the image.
