Photographer’s Note

Broadway crossing Columbus Avenue, the building only half shown at the far left is the Metropolitan opera.
I made this shot from the rooftop of Empire Hotel.

Hi Christian.

Impressive place and shot. Maybe, if you shot earlier the sky wouldn't be so dark... maybe, next, the time blue hour.

Regards and thanks for sharing this masterpiece.

Urban volcano blow up.. fire snakes twisted around cubistic rocks..
so many of us to leave such a long tails of movement.. each day in the morning, midday and evening.. so much ado about nothing..
No individuals still..
The general point view on such a panorama shows how small.. invisible, hidden- in our apartment cages - how powerful to build that- breathing- giants - we are..

Looking down, at the left corner, we find the red secret..
Apparently the Artist was in unusual rush this morning:)

with regards, agn

Hello Christian,
I really like this night scene, with black and gold being the dominant colors. You had a great view from your hotel, and I like the partial inclusion of Lincoln Center. It is a beautiful photo. :-)

Cette croix de lumière créée par les voitures apporte beaucoup à cette déjà très belle photo nocturne. Sympa le petit clin d'œil à Canon dans le coin o)
Amicalement

Ciao Christian!!
magnifica visione notturna, che io guardo come un quadro astratto!
Devo vedere con calma il tuo reportage da NY.
Ciao!

hi Christian
I like the dynamic and symbolism of this shot, the bottom is a little OE, but still it hasa nice dynamic with good focus and framing, good depth and the building are nicely exposed .
creative job
