On the 4th anniversary of 9/11. This was taken on Brooklyn Bridge (NYC) with the tribute beams glowing in background. I wanted to composed the various perpective elements using the tension cable as a focal point without distracting the whole image.

Wow, what an image. The neon is amazing and I loved the way you were able to capture this photo. I think most people probably did not take the time to see what the picture was taken of and when. The angle is my favorite part, Which makes make think this is one of the strongest perspective pieces in the challenge. The colors are a little strong, maybe its the contrast. I think the bridge looks a little green but that is probably in the contrast to the make the blue that strong. The composure is excellent. There are just some small pats that have blurred pixels, like around the upper right on the rope. I really feel if people understood what the image was the score would have moved up. Excellent capture, this will be a great time piece to keep in your collection.
I'm totally disappointed. This was a top 5 all day long!! People just don't get it. Well, congrats - I guess not so bad a placement considering the zillions of entries!!
Great job, Brooklyn bridge and 9/11 lights convey a strong message along with cables, very interesting. I would have done a little more tilt angle, but that's just me.
This is excellent. Best I've seen of the challenge so far. The green and blue are wonderful compliments to each other. The rope and grid of the metal with the soldiering pattern of the bricks over the opening make for wonderful textural differences. I like the dim light - to showcase what appears to be neon. The gothic arch point your eye up to the upper areas of the photo. 10
