Nice photo! I especially like the sailboat, because sailboats are great. Is this from New York? That poem goes with the Statue of Liberty, right? "Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Well, aside from 'city' or 'sailboat' or something with the title, I don't see a lot of prompt potential in this one. It's a very nice photo, but not, you know, evocative. To me.

Very nice picture of New York. Not much relation to the prompt though...

>>Moosetasm The buildings standing against the sky?

The problem is that... how do you make a story out of this? The subject is literally the city, and it's so all-encompassing that you can't focus on any specific thing.

There's also a ton of empty space, which, okay, standing up against the sky, but the city takes up only half the image, and my photography teacher would not appreciate this.

Another view of Manhattan. It’s decent, but there’s not much to distinguish it from a thousand other pics of Manhattan readily available on Google, so I can’t award it high points for creativity. Still, it fits the prompt and has inspired several stories, so points for that.
