Hi,JB,
Nice title, very matching, though, when it's about the USA. I think, it's even more expressive in this sepia tones.

Bonjour JB,
La forêt peut être une comparaison avec la densité de tous ces gigantesques immeubles, mais je ne m'y perdrais pas, c'est un univers trop artificiel, où est la nature si nécessaire?, elle est laminée. Celà dit la photo est impressionnante,rendant bien compte de l'ampleur des constructions. La teinte de l'image induit une sorte d'angoisse. C'est une réalisation trè bonne et très expressive.
Bonne journée
Amicalement

Hi JB,

I already wanted to congratulate you with your office space, but I now read the note and see the picture with the pack of people in front of you. Well, congratulations with reaching the forefront! ;-)
I like how you included the buildings directly below. It creates a great perspective. And let me tell you how I always love your notes - even bilingual!! I always read them both, understanding the most of the English but at least practicing my French every now and then ;-).

Have a good weekend!

Hi JB. Excellent photo. the haze has given this shot a nice atmosphere. Well composed with excellent POV. Great PP also. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

The wide-angle was a great choice to show the density of the buildings, and the way the distortion makes it appear like they're bursting outwards from the centre gives the image a great dynamism. Even the crazily tilted horizon doesn't bother me!
Most of all though, I think it's the quality of the light that makes the shot work - very atmospheric.
Good work JB.

Cheers,
Ben

Hello JB,

Très bon choix de point de vue ! La plongée extrème donne un vrai impression de survol en avion ! Le Chrysler building trône au milieu de cette forêt et n'est donc pas distordu ! C'est bien vu !

Bonjour JB -

What I really like about this image is your PP conversion. This image a real old time feel to it with the OE'd haze in the background. The use of the extreme WA lens also helps in old time feel. Well done, Bravo!

Thank you for sharing.

Hello JB,

Indeed the forest from New York, with a misty atmosphere around the skyscrapers, many thanks for your interesting note too.
Very well done.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi JB,

amazing perspective and fog. The sepia tones just enhanced the composition. That's why I'm thinking about buying a wide-angle lens. It' nice to see the details from the bottom to the top. Great image!

Carlos

Bonjour JB,
le sépia donne à cette photo, la vision de NY qu'on avait en regardant les vieux filsm hollywoodiens N/B quis e déroulaient là-bas.
Le genre de POV qui donne toujours le vertige.
Un petit clin d'oeil à King-Kong ?
Amicalement.
Daniel.

Hello JB,
very well captured shot of Manhattan's skyline. The pov from the Empire State Building's terrace is excellent and the perspective is really great. Due to the not favorable light conditions the b/w format is well chosen. Good work!
Tfs and best wishes.

Salut,
Jolie vue plongente, le choix de cette teinte est tres bien vue ,
j'aime beaucoup . Cela me rappelle ces célébres photos prise a NY, tu t'en rappelle .
il y avait une avec des types que mangeaient sur une poutre metalique.

Sinon le cadrage est bien vue et bonne exposition.

Bravo a toi .
Salutation.

Salut JB,
J'aime beaucoup tes photos de NY.
Tu parviens a chaque fois à donner une ambiance très proche de l'idée que je me fais de cette immense ville.
Bonne soirée.

The wide angle lens was definitely the right choice to allow you to cram so much into the frame. Shooting into the sun and the hazy light makes for a great atmosphere. Good choice to convert to sepia too.

Hello JB,
Very interesting skyline captured with the misty athmosphere around the skycrappers, maybe it will be better on wide shot. I thing is a good idea to choose the b&w version with minus lighting on the top. Great job JB, thanks :-)

Hi JB,
Indeed the focal difference created an interesting perspective here. I like how the buildings offer here a view as if they were needles placed on a sphere. Your toning and the mist gives a timeless feeling. TFS,
Deniz

Bonjour JB,

J'aime bien la couleur Sépia que tu as pris pour ta photo, la prise de vue est magnifique.Elle rend tout à fait bien la jungle d'immeuble que doit être New-York.
Bon travail

Hi JB,
Beatiful photo is this "city landscape". The perspective really creates a dynmism, like you explained in the note. The brownish colours and the vague and foggy shapes are very good.
TFS,
Stef

Bonsoir JB,

Un forêt qui semble aussi la mer à cause de ses dimensions. Les batiments se perdent dans l'horizon. La perspective rendue est vraiment fantastique, le n&b est très outil ici, j'aime beaucoup. Une merveille! Bravo.

Amicalement,
Angel.

Hello JB
he praises perspective the one that you show us in this image, the POV inclininando the camera down is a very good, good work with the subdued color, she adds more dramatism to this beautiful image.
good work
a greeting.

JB, amazing to see how many outstanding shots you got in NYC. I didn't check it out, but I have the impression that all your shots form there were done during a single stay and that is even more impressive. I wonder how many shots you did during this visit and how many awsome photography more you will be posting from this time. The shots are so good that it gives the idea that you lived in that city and knew exactly when to be where to get most out of every composition. This one here is ripe to be enlarged as a poster for selling to any Big Apple tourist and fan.
Regards, Peter

Trés impressionant ! Voila une vue subjective qui collerait parfaitement au personnage de King Kong... J'aime en effet l'utilisation d'une courte focale ainsi que ce noir et blanc brumeux qui donne beaucoup de charme a cette composition... Donc félicitations...

Belle photo de cette ville prise d' un point qui culmine par rapport a ces grandes tours, cette prise en hauteur esr très jolies et nous montre une vue d' ensemble très grande. Le légé brouillard qui est sur cette ville est je suppose la polution qui monte. Amitiés Thomas

Hi JB,
Amazing depth and resolution in this interesting shot. And yes, the short focal does create a dynamic look. The misty or smoky haze in the background is very enhancing, though I am not sure if that is not pollution. Very fine work...later.

Wow, magnificent image, JB. Love the way you composed it in the vertical showing also the closer buildings, adding also some sense of vertigo. Excellent work with the presentation and nice mist in the background. This is really good.

Je connais bien cette vue... ça me rappelle un joli coin (très...trop... touristique) de NYC !
La teinte sépia est bien trouvée... et c'est vrai qu'il y a un bon dynamisme dans cette photo.. jeu de lignes graphique.
Bien joué, A+

Hi JB,
the title is matching perfectly your beautiful picture! POV is absolutely perfect and the choice of the sepia tone is outstanding! Every single detail is wonderful, this is one of the best shot of NY I've seen so far; and in your gallery there are other amazing shot of the second city I love the most.
Thank you
