Sort of classical, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

Visiting New York last summer I got this freak chance to take a classic steel worker picture. I was walking along the East River at the south tip of Manhattan in the early morning sun as a crew was starting to construct some kind of extension of the side walk. The guy is only about 2 metres above water even if it might look higher.

Fab capture as you say one of those chance encounters that leads to a once in a lifetime shot

Good choice in B&W nice well handled DOF and contrasting

Hello Ebbe,
This is an excellent POV and composition. It really is timeless, and this view could easily be from the 1940's. Nice DOF, too, allowing us to see the Williamsburg Bridge in the far distance.

Ciao Ebbe,
eccellente bianco e nero che fa apparire la foto come se si trattasse di una vecchia foto.

Bravo!
Francesco
