NYCscapes 10, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

52nd street I think... but reflections are everywhere.
The original is more from the side, I corrected the lines with image/transform/tilt function in photoshop to be vertical and horizontal.

Hi Christian

Fantastic reflection shot
I like all the vertical and horizontal lines here, both wavy and straight giving it lots of interest.
Good clarity and lighting management.
I look forward to exploring your gallery more.

Take care,
Tosca

Hi Christian

What a grid! The graphism is eyecatching and the cold abstraction has very hypnotic patterns. Excellent tight frame that nothing is allowed to disturb. Well done!

It was much easier old times.. St. Claus came on the snowy cloud with jumbo-gifts-set, jumped through the window.. OK, unusually clean chimney at least.. left colorful packages under the pillow..

How he manages in that urban jungle with never-opened windows..?

In Poland we celebrate St. Nikolas' day today.. it's our boxing-day.. St. Nikolas visits each home during the night, remembers about everybody who is in a small or big need.. Each child's dream is to catch St. Nikolas.. My daughter decided, what became an every year routine already, she wouldn't sleep the whole night, in the case she'd become sleepy she'd move to the wardrobe which as comfortable-less would prevent her from another failure..:)

In NY we would have a serious problem today.. What shall stay open for St. Nikolas? Air-condition tunnel? Shower? Microwave? Fridge?:)

Like your sophisticated NY architecture visions Chris.. Full of unexpected twists, curves, reflections.. shows how various and interesting modern cities environment really is..
Being there, running throughout streets in rush
I miss a lot apparently.. fortunately have a friend who is more patient and concentrated.. who understand that with glass, metal and stone you can also compose the symphony.. Chris A. Brandstaetter (it's likely, next time in NY I'll be able to spell your name correctly.. Practice makes a master:))

with compliments, agn

Hi Christian.

Smart and very nice work with the composition. The reflections and the light are great.

Well done.

Very captivating, masterful image, a contemporary homage to Piet Mondrian perhaps, but much more in part due to the sharp reality. The colors and details delight the eye, pulling in and pushing back. A wonderful addition the your NY series... Richard

Hi Christian
I love this type of facade combing graphics with a stunning reflection. Like the contrasting colours too.

Ciao Christian,
A photo which reminds me the reflections of La D閒ense which I like so much. It is very successful, with an attractive work on the deformed lines. Your composition is pleasant because it is very well-balanced, few colors but they are very well distributed.
Well done, amicalement
Diane
