After many days of rain in New York City finally a clear night. i went out to shoot the skyline from the east bank of the East River. I recorded many frames and was ready to leave after 2 to 3 hours shen I noticed that there was a large puddle and if squated I could see a reflection of the skyline in the puddle. It represented that even after much desaster that we will redouble our efforts to be NY strong and tough.
I also liked the scene graphically.

interesting use of the puddle for reflection. Kind of a shame the sky is such a bland gray, but it is still a very nice (night?) shot. I would suggest cropping off the left edge just slightly, so that there is more balance between those two, I believe they are trash cans. Just a thought.
was this taken from New Jersey? I almost recognize the promenade as one from Jersey City! :) Nice reflection in the puddle, not sure I agree with the bw presentation, but the contrast is very good.
This looks slightly tilted. It's a beautiufl view and reflection of the city though. For some reason, I don't really see this site in black and white... how did it look in color? I hope your one of the people coming tomorrow (Saturday) to the East Coast GTG . I could see this on an older magazine I think... prolly not one of the new glossy ones but thats just my opinion. I like the room at the top for type. Good luck.
