I’m in need of some critical eyes on this latest mage of the Oculus in NYC. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Here are a couple long exposure shots using my original 50 year old Minolta SR-T201 and kit lens shooting Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 II. Both images were taken just at the end of blue hour.

I'm torn on this one, and it depends on your intent. The tonal range is good and you have done a good job in minimizing the effect of the background buildings
Whilst I appreciate the lead in formed by the crosswalk I feel this renders the building as being less significant.
If your goal was to present the building itself I would be tempted to crop tighter.
Otherwise a darker sky may have been helpful in defining the edges of the building a little more.
Overall an image that successfully represents the scene.
Edit:
My view on this is a great shot and it works well for me, except that as mentioned.. a dark sky with more define clouds would set this off. or a completely dark blue sky would offer separation between elements. My edited image is merely reducing the haze and selecting a more/darker black & white post production. As you can see in my edit, the ribs have been slightly separated or defined where as your image.. they blend together. I'd be interested to see this same attempt at night on a long exposure.
Hi Alan and “Broken”, you both offer judicious and thoughtful comments. I will probably go the darkening route and then reevaluate from there. Thank you both.
Thanks Michael. All are suggestions only so be sure to go with whatever fits your own artistic vision.
Hi Michael. May be late but not never..
Sharing my view point as a fellow student of photography.
One image is better than many words.
cheers.
