Some NYC New York pics

[40d]

Was meaning to go to NYC last weekend but didn't make it so instead I dug out some pics from April to play around with.

All taken with 40D, If I remember rightly they were all with 70-300IS but I also had my 28-135 with me so can't be certain without checking the EXIF (which I can't do atm because I'm not at home).

C&C greatly appreciated.

I'm particularly pleased with #2 - would be more so if I hadn't cut the top of her torch off - had to be quick to not get blinded by the sun though.

I like #2 the most myself.
I would bring the levels up in #4, the Times Square shot... seems a little too dark and clipped in some of the dark areas

Thanks Rob. I already brought the levels up in the Times Square shot as much as I could get away with... Traffic was honking me out of the way as I stood in the middle of the road to get the cheeky shot and my exposure was way too short.
