Very nice photograph. Good angle. There are two points of interest. First the flag, because imaginary guiding lines point to it (e.g. the skyscrapers on the left and especially on the right). Second, the statue with the interesting gesture. Some could say that's not simple enough and you should have concentrated on one object, but I like it. With some phantasy one can interpret the flag as a symbol for capitalism. The sun flare is a little distracting but actually I think the writing behind the statue is more distracting. It would be so nice without it, but I guess they would have thrown you in jail when you would have tried to remove it ;-) I guess the writing was colored, so you decided to make the photo black and white. That was a good decision.
Whoa! I've fallen...I'm at the bottom. I'm looking up. Wait a minute. Capitolism is looking down down on me. I'm looking "Under Capitolism" Anyway an effective shot of vertigo.
It took me a while to get the irony here: "A Slave Ship Speaks" on display in Federal Hall, a former Treasury across from the NYSE. I like this better on reflection.
I love the lighting in this picture; monochrome hits the spot and the flag is just perfect. No comments about content, it's a well created scene, great picture…
Wierd angle. I don't like the glare on the right side of the pic, and since I can't really tell who that is, I don't know why he'd be watching over capitalism.
