New York New York! (C&C appreciated)

I found these old pics I took last summer in New York, thought they were pretty decent.

Nothing?

Well, I like them. Particularly that first one. It brings back some nice memories for me. Thanks.

I like the first image. But its partially overexposed. I tried a quick edit: lowered brightness, raised gamma, reduced saturation.

I just took another look - my edit can still do with reducing the brightness 2 or 3%...but the main point i'm trying to ilustrate is: increasing gamma to lift what can appear a gloomy exposure.

Number 2 is awesome!
