The view of the city is marvelous, but can't help to notice that the sky is stealing the show.

Kick Ass photo. I don't agree about the sky stealing the show, but rather complimenting the contrast of buildings in the shot. Seems to stretch on forever, nice effect. Upon enlarging the photo I could see the words "MET LIFE" clearly, though some of the closer buildings and such are a bit distorted from the effects applied to the photo attempting to recreate an HDR photo effect. But a great picture none the less... :||

"What You'll See From the Top of the Empire State Building"

...if your eyes display in HDR...

it looks like an over processed, dirty looking HDR image?

Horrible attempt at HRD, but average photo

I don't know why everyone is complaining that the GTA IV graphics aren't good enough. This screen shot is phenomenal!

"What you'll see from the top of the Empire State Building..."

Not the Twin Towers.


..too early?

Height is always Amazing.

I wonder how far it is that you can see...

Nothing like ridiculous post-processing to amplify the chromatic aberration of your lens, mmm mmm.

Beautiful. Don't show this to someone with suicidal tendency please.

what you will see on top of Burj Dubai: http://www.blog.thesietch.org/wp-content/uploads/2 ...

I can confirm this, there are multitudes of towers around, this is no lie.

The HDR is totally overdone. Look how noisy the sky is. Someone needs to learn post processing and the view isn't that good either. I see not one beautiful building in shot. NYC can look amazing but this photo isn't one.

Blimey. I love high-rising US cities :)

Canary Wharf is our tallest building really, which is saying something!

I prefer the panorama picture: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fe/Empi ... Might not use that fancy tech, but shows you more of Manhattan.

Heightophobia!

HDR should be used in moderation like make-up....if you use it to much, it looks rediculous. That's just my opinion...perhaps other people like over saturated photo's.

I think HDR should be like make up: use in moderation. If you use it to much, it just looks rediculous.

That's just one man's opinion....other people like may like this eye sore.

Needs better HDR processing....and the chromatic abberations are annoying. Sorry.

yes, a great photo!

Those are some dark clouds, there. I wonder if it means that Gozer the Gozarian is approaching.

With my slight suffering of vertigo this kind of blurred picture is probably quite accurate. I guess I will find out for myself soon enough. Roll on June!!!

Very bad quality.

Here's what I saw when I was there a couple of months ago:

Look in the clouds above MetLife - when you see it you'll ***** bricks

Wow. That's going to be my new wallpaper for a while.

Whoa, check out the naked chick in the window! =D

I see Jimmy Fallon!!!!1

"What You'll See From the Top of the Empire State Building"

The human equivalent of a rodent maze --- lots of stressed out individuals running to and fro, getting in each others way, all in a desperate search for the cheese.

That's nice and all but right now I'm more interested in what the view will be from the Rotterdam tower in Liberty City.

Terrible HDR. Foreground shouldn't be brighter than the sky.

Makes me glad I don't live in a Big City. Where are the trees and creeks and the animals?

Cityscapes without intermingled greenery are unpleasant, it doesn't matter the height you view it from.
The only nice views in manhattan are in, or looking out over central park.

*****!!! When you see it you'll ***** Bricks!!!

Wow, I always wondered what it was like to be King Kong!

You actually will not see this, eyes don't view things in HDR.

Plus it's grainy. GTFO.

the close buildings are def over processed and the HDR effect doesn't look that great, but further away looks amazing.

looks photoshopped, I'd have preferred an untouched panoramic view

I was at the top of the Empire State building, the view is breathtaking, this image doesn't do it justice

I'll see a badly done HDR photo with horrific amounts of Chromatic Aberration at the edges that was apparently shot at high iso for no reason? Guess I won't bother then.

I'd rather see the view from the top of the Twin Towers. :(

Nice pic, but it's got more grain than a farmer's field.

Old.

did you take that photo with a Creative Video Blaster WebCam?

This image sucks balls. Before you attempt HDR please remove noise. ugh

Must...resist...Photoshop in...airplane....AAAAARRRRGGGH!
