59th and Sunrise
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 9 November 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.
Another shot from a morning walk before work, this is looking from Manhattan over the 59th Street Bridge
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

Hey J, Lovely capture as always and nice perspective. My only suggestion is sharper captures and proper white balancing in my humble opinion. Were you trying HDR? Just curious! I hope you had a great weekend.
Regards Ade :)

@Adetokunbo Adesanya: Thanks Ade, always welcome any suggestions, I do agree the clarity could be a lot better, if I am doing to do morning shots like this I need to start carrying my tripod with me

A rugged but beautiful bridge which serves as a fine and major element in this sunset shot. I like the flow of the water and the colors. Nice one.

Impressive silhouette with a background in beautiful colors. Great shot. This is what I´m gonna see with my inner eye the next time I listen to Simon & Garfunkel's Feelin´ groovy.

Love the straight lines - the bridge crossing over the supports and their reflections - contrasting with the curves of the top of the bridge and the ripples in the water.

Love the mood you've established here in this wonderful composition. This is a real interpretation of the scene. Very artistic without departing from the realms of reality.
