My favorites were Sydney and Manhattan (the last one in the article, with Central Park in much of the frame). I didn't like the 2 with tilt-shift effects.

The processing looks heavy but I think he had to do that to accentuate the different light colors. It's intended for a print book and that works differently than screen display. Certainly an expensive set of photos to take: travel to multiple cities plus helicopter rental at each.

His daytime aerial work is good, too.
