I never get a super crisp skyline from my distance. I was playing around with this and thought an abstract would be fun. Not super original but fun anyway!
Feedback always welcome.

It's pretty cool in its own unique way. I enjoyed spotting the bridge span on the right as I didn't see it for a few minutes. Having fun is one of the best things about taking photos. 😊
Thanks Sandra! I agree about the fun!
Is that a real photography? If yes, I had never ever seen such a vision of the New York's skyline (excepted in b&w animated cartoons). You may start again by choosing other frames in order to avoid empty spaces in between towers. That would render (1) a sort of visual effect playing with some dislocated stairs and (2) would reinforce the abstract vision. I think so.
It IS a real photograph! I took at few of these (below) from across the bay. They are sharp (9 in-camera stacked) but, as you can see, too far away to really do something with it. Then I became captivated by the skyline and started to play with it and the post here is the outcome.
I like that it looks like a comic book line art drawing.
There is another spot on the bay that is closer and I will try something with your suggestions from that angle.
:)
For real I was thinking something looking like that. Very refined and b&w.
But as I saw the original file, it appeared an other frame could be different from the one I've just posted. I minimised the graphic role of the city to induce a contrast effect beacuse of sky and clouds (and the variety of grey tonalities).
I LOVE both of these! I just got a 1960 Vivitar 300mm prime that will be able to get closer so that the crop doesn't go down to a square inch! I'll be heading back out as soon as we get the good cloud interest in early morning. If I wait until later in the day, the sun shines on the buildings and I get a lot of window light points.
I love it
