Default NYC skyline

Shot taken from a ferry using a Nikon s70.



Should I crop this more? The bird was an accident, but I rather like it. (I have just cropped out bits of sky and water so far.)

Hi, unfortunately the posted image is a little small for me to see too much detail but first impressions are that it's a great shot.

To me the bird and the boat tend to clash and IMO need to go; along with most of the right side of the scene. I'd like to re-crop the shot so that the main skyline is more centered horizontally but lowered so that the water line is level and placed roughly 1/3rd of the way up from the bottom of the image. This will leave more sky area above the buildings, but given the clouds it makes for an interesting element. Lastly I'd play with the overall contrast to add some definition to the scene. Hope this helps, good luck.
