I love the way the composition makes the clouds feel like they are ominously hanging over the city in such a menacing, threatening way. Beautiful colors too!
I'm glad the score improved a little... certainly not where it should be though :( Besides the wonderful brooding mood, what knocks me out about this is the relative scale. That cloud is colossal! This looks like a movie poster. The Perfect Storm Takes Manhattan the Day After Tomorrow. Well seen and shot, as usual :)
this is great! it reminds me of living there and feeling so small... then taking the ferry out and watching the city become tiny, and finding my place in it again as i reapproached. thanks for this beautiful emotive reminder! the whole thing reminds me of stieglitz' pics of the city many years prior.
Wow! Way to go making the most of crummy weather. Most people stay in their houses and mope in weather like this! You get out and create fabulous photography!
you know, this is a really beautiful image in some respects. The color tones are amazing, as is the texture. But, by the title and the sheer size within the frame, I would say the subject is the sky rather than the ground. I am adding this to my favorites regardless.
