•  Question Should you not replace your three existing FPs if these are better (which I think they are)? Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:31, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

  @Charlesjsharp: My three existing FPs are of Lower Manhattan, a completely different skyline. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 16:42, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

•  Support What a wonderful set. I'm really found of the last two, with their beautiful light and reflections. I bit sad the Empire State Building is hidden. Wonder if it would have been possible to have it? - Benh (talk) 14:00, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

  This was the best angle, all things considered, to maximize the angle of view without including parts of the pier on the Jersey side. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:36, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Unfortunately, the new buildings in the Hudson Yards area of way west Midtown have gone a long way toward screwing up the view of the classic Art Deco buildings of the more central and eastern areas of Midtown from New Jersey. That's just a fact of life that needs to be documented, and historical documentation is one of the things that panoramas like these are important for. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:22, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

I was fairly sure this was the best compromise u could get :) Thanks. Benh (talk) 09:04, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

•  Strong support Having grown up in northeastern NJ, this is the view I (and many others once similarly situated) know as the last thing you see before you start dropping into the same Lincoln Tunnel helix that Tony Soprano comes out of at the beginning of each episode.

  Great work, Tony, you've captured a city in transition, the 20th-century Midtown Manhattan skyline yielding to the 21st-century skyline, in three daily moods. I find it entirely fitting that the iconic Empire State Building is almost entirely hidden in this view by a building under construction. I can recognize so many of the buildings here, but while I recognize so many more (like that big one on Central Park South, I can't remember its address) I'd be at a loss to name them, and it's been so long since I saw the city from this viewpoint (yes, I have been down there about ... twice since the pandemic started, but only by Hudson Line train from the north) that there are others I'm not familiar with at all. But I see the more rectilinear styles of the last century yielding the spotlight here to the newer look I have elsewhere called "Shardism", a look that just seems so much fitting lately.

  I shall have to go down to Weehawken again sometime soon and take this in myself. Daniel Case (talk) 04:31, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
