"Whow! great terrainand atmosphere. How long dit it take you to create this ;)"

"What a wonderful image of NY. Congratulations"

"Meisterarbeit !"

"The terrible terror acts don´t influence me. This image has it´s flair. It´s wonderful! The camera position is best placed."

"This looks time consuming! Great details, lighting; the sense of scale with the park is particularily nice."

"This is not normal, this is very unhealthy, how far do we want to go ? (far!) What a work and what a result. Every other image is worthless comparing it with this one."

"Given recent events, it's not surprising to see a number of New York themed submissions. I particularly like the atmosphere & perspective on this one. The large number of structures allows the viewer to ignore (to some extent) minor imperfections like the (unavoidable) lack of detail in individual buildings. I admire the effort that went into creating this one."

"Peace returns to N.Y."

"A lot of work in this one - the park in the middle is fantastic. The illusion of scale is superb."

"The surfacing in the park is some of the best I've seen."

"Wow! It must have taken forever to build that terrain"

"Amazing texturing and lighting"

"Indeed, I dont really know why i picked this. It shows an ENORMOUS amount of detail, yet it somehow has a sad feel to it. A good quote to go with this picture comes from Star Wars - 'Strike me down and i shall become more powerfull than you can possibly imagine' "

"Absolut spitze Bild, auf Anhieb meine Nr. 1! ... hast Du einen Stadtplan von New York?"

"I looked at mine then clicked on to yours right after. I dont believe it"

"This was the hardest contest to judge in my opinion they are all so good."

"Congratulations, Peter. Great image!"

"out of several NYC-themed pictures, this was the best composition. Lots of work in it."

"Great terrain, very good work!"

"I would say that the atmosphere is too dark for any hope."

"stunning buildings nice park"

"beautifully done, must have taken an age!"

"Wow."

"very well done all this datails"

"Stunning image, even if it weren't for the timing. I'm glad I changed my mind and didn't submit a "sunrise behind Manhattan" image."
