Streets of Manhattan Photo

Photographer’s Note

Crowded streets, closely-spaced old and new buildings, traffic, roadside construction - I travel halfway around the world to a place that feels pretty much like home.

Hi Lorenzo,
Good picture that reflects well quotidian life with traffics, road signs, people phoning... I feel like if I was there. We really see this city living, with much activity.
I like less the dark zones on both sides. Maybe taking the photo at an other hour should have limited this darkness.
Regards,
Delphine

I like the cluttered composition of this shot. Certainly some strong contrast, although I am learning ways around this ... you can copy a layer, lighten the image to reduce the shadows, then erase the bright parts of the image to reveal the original underneath.
A suggestion only, I love this shot, great colours too.
congratulations
