Early morning runners
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 20 October 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.
I wasnt running myself, my damaged knees dont let me run but I do enjoy nice long walks and was in the city early this morning enjoyed walking across the bridge and back
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Love the lines leading into the shot. And walks are better. You get to enjoy more of what you are seeing :)

Good composition and the image of one of the best moments of the day for me, and in one of the most beutiful bridges of the world. I like better the other perspective, from Brooklyn to Manhattan.
Cheers

Great symmetry, but I especially love the colors in the sky. Such soft pink/orange.
My knees are shot, too. Ran for 30+ years, so now I walk. Easier on the camera, too. ;)

I like the pink glow of the early morning light, I must say, I would love to run across that bridge myself, but I'm a terrible morning runner, I much prefer running at night.

What an incredible capture. The bridge is gorgeous and your perspective really....you were standing in the road...these people are running on the bridge. I'm sleep deprived...lol
Took me long enough to realize that. Now I'm speechless. Can you believe it? lol
