I am no stickler for having straight vertical lines appear straight in an image but I think in this case it would have helped. As it is, the whole picture appears to lean to the right a bit and feels unnatural. What I really like is the configuration of matching cream tones in the top and bottom of the Gap sign, the front of the middle building and it's sign, the second tallest building and the top of the ESB tower. Plus the little bits of it around the bottom. I think a bit more detail in the shadows(I don't know anything about the polaroid type 55 and if that is possible) and the correcting of the verticals would have made this image much better. All the best. doc
