Challenge: Urban Landscapes (Classic Editing)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix 4500
Location: Manhattan
Date: Oct 7, 2003
Aperture: f5.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/226
Galleries: Cityscape, Architecture
Date Uploaded: Oct 7, 2003

 The Empire State Building taken from 35th and madison, about five blocks away. Croaching down in a doorway, the radio tower at the top of ESB appeared unrealistically close, as if it was on the same level as the five story structure in the foreground.
Filtered for noise with neat image.

I like how the buildings create a virtual frame and the actual image is a diagonal swipe across the middle.

Good shadows, I like the detail.

I can't decide if I want detail in the black space. I really like the play of light on the bottom building. Great shot.

Looks alsmot abstract - which is good. The upper right corner is a bit too dark - which overpowers the rest of the image. The shadows on the lower building are great.

ESB, took me a moment to realize what you were talking about then it dawned on me, duh! :) It certainly is a different point of view but sadly almost lost because of the other distractions. The overhang on the right really pulls you away from the ESB itself, it there had been some way you could have cropped or taken the shot without that I would have gone much higher on my score on this one.

Yes - nice to see a different POV on this. Good eye.I also like the angles.

What's the theme? sorry, i don't quite get it

The framing is more interesting than the subject. I especially like the dappled shadow effect. It does offer a different view of the ESB building, with enough to give an impression of that building's character.

A nice composition, though I'm not quite sure that the upper corner works because there's no detail in it at all. I'd like to see more detail in the foreground as well, but this was a difficult exposure to get right (a ND grad tilted on the diagonal probably would have helped here).

I like the lines that this image creates.

The black triangle really throws this photo off.
