Wow… I had no idea this picture would score this high at all…
I really just entered it on a whim (as most of you noted its probs a stretch for the challenge... er... sorry? hah), and had I thought it had a shot of doing any good I would have thought twice about placing myself and a friend in the upper corner there which I did just for kicks as I was taking some long exposures of the street scenes below... but the response to the figures seemed to have been somewhat mixed I dunno, I think I like them there, but I would have changed their pose somehow.
I thought about titling it something cheesy to shoehorn it into the challenge more smoothly like 'new opportunities in new york' or something but just left it like this.
It’s a long exposure (was it 15sec?) taken from a Midtown-West high-rise, I just laid my camera on the balcony wall which scared me to death because it was hanging over the edge and its really windy up there…
I don't think it's a shoehorn at all :) New York is "something" New. And what a fabulous, very deserving photo to win top honors. I love your angle. It makes it so interesting! Congratulations!!!!!
Congrats on the new PB dude and the ribbon, think this shot is pretty cool, especially the angle/composition and also the "ghosts" in the upper right corner.
brilliant image .. fantastic process .. AS USUAL ..!!!!
totally out of the box and you romped home anyway .. WELL DONE !!!!!!!
and congratulations on your first ribbon and a pb too !!!!!! :)
Excellent image! The only suggestion: maybe the right portion (with the two people) should have been cropped out, or a slightly different angle when taking the shot. Either was one of the best in this challenge in my opinion!
nice take on the challenge. i love the duotone, reminds me of Dark City or some movie.. In a challenge filled with "new wannabe" photos, this tops them all. My only 10.
I really like this one because its not the normal New York City point of view. I really like the two figures standing in the corner, its kinda "were's waldo" reminiscent, just a little something extra that doesnt catch your eye right away.
Clever title, bit of a stretch though :). I really like the reflection on the right side of the building. Bummer about those people on the top right corner...
hey those two persons at the roof, they look like flying, I dont see their bodies?? whats going on? there is a 3rd one too!! weird! good picture anyway
Have never seen this view before. Very nice. Would never have thought a black and white image of a NYC night scene would turn out this nice. Great job!
