Not a new composition, but you can't photograph the same skyline twice, as the saying goes. I was trying the new Hasselblad XCD 25/2.5V lens to see if it could replace the Leica S24/3.5 as favorite if-you're-going-to take-one-lens item. Seems like it.

Cool! I don't think you've shown Central Park and the (silly matchstick) buildings beyond from this perspective before. Also nothing to complain about in terms of the XCD25V's performance - seems like a keeper to me!Not a new composition, but you can't photograph the same skyline twice, as the saying goes.

Nice!
It looks almost as it is from somewhere between Stenbjergs Landningsplads and Hanstholm!

Seeing that you asked for thoughts...Third and final version. I find this one the most satisfying, any thoughts?

The mass of black rock at bottom right pulls the eye like a magnet, but when the eye gets there, there's no reward for making the journey. I find it hard to look at the rest of the image because of that big, dark mass.This is an image that works much better, I believe, with this crop. My eye still wants to go to the bottom-right corner because it's brighter, but from there I noticed that I went back into the picture and followed the bright shoreline of the distance, and then roamed around in the soft textures and tones of the sea in different places in the image.
As always, I have to qualify that I don't know what you were trying to say with your image. It may be that your whole point was to create tension between the dark mass in the foreground and the softness of the sea, in which case my suggestion should go into the dustbin because it's not what you wanted to do!
