Nice shot. Sentimental.
03/17/2009 10:24:23 AM
A powerful subject, I think the composition would work better if it weren't in the middle of the fram and perhaps with a bit wider of a crop.

Quite a striking shot with those beams of light shooting into the night sky and the lit up bridge and city in the foreground.
03/16/2009 10:14:10 PM
Nice night shot. Not sure I'd put the lights dead center, though (maybe you could get them to move the bridge a bit...)

Beautiful shot of the WTC memorial.
03/16/2009 03:15:19 PM
A moving image, at least for we Americans
03/16/2009 10:48:19 AM
I would like to see the base of the buildings...
03/16/2009 03:55:37 AM
Awesome capture and presentation. Gorgeous.
03/15/2009 10:28:44 PM
I think you should have cropped this differently to be more effective. Try this:
- a vertical crop , include a little more of the lower portion
- offset the two powerful beams to the side

Nice capture, very well done.
03/15/2009 12:06:19 PM
This is nice, good exposure. Wish the memorial wasn't so centered, I think it would look good off to one side.

good documentary/cityscape shot, are the lights really at a slight angle?
03/14/2009 11:20:04 PM
I would love to see this in person - so very moving.
03/14/2009 08:24:14 PM
just slightly lopsided but this is nice otherwise.
03/14/2009 07:11:11 PM
Meaningful. And a great exposure.
03/14/2009 07:02:51 PM

03/12/2009 01:44:24 PM
nice long exposure, weird crop, i would like to see a bit more of the bridge
03/12/2009 12:45:42 PM
Interesting shot.
03/12/2009 10:55:42 AM
Beautiful work!
03/12/2009 09:46:21 AM
interesting lights
03/12/2009 05:56:34 AM
I like the two blue rays
03/12/2009 01:59:58 AM
Crop feels a little cramped in the frame. The colors are a bit flat.
03/12/2009 12:56:08 AM
Nice night shot -- the lights look good with out blowing out. Overall, though, if you could get a bit more contrast into it, I think it *might* be a touch more effective.
03/11/2009 11:49:02 PM
poignant reminder of so much loss
very well done..could be in a magazine. the span of the bridge is placed well in the frame, I like the composition a lot
03/11/2009 07:13:13 PM
Very moving.
03/11/2009 06:04:16 PM
great location for capturing the tower beams, you've got the city, the bridge and the beams, well done
03/11/2009 04:21:49 PM
I think showing the river would make this a lot more interesting.
03/11/2009 02:49:59 PM
i think the crop is too tight on the bridge.making the photo too busy
03/11/2009 12:43:15 PM
Nice capture. Good exposure.
03/11/2009 10:51:31 AM
