Twinkles of a NY Night

beautiful in all aspects

Stunning image, I love the DOF you've brought to the piece!

nice way to photography a very tall building, horizontal frame, at night without having a huge black void... I like how the lights on the tree become the stars in the sky, and I'm trying to picture the tree not overlapping the building, though in my mind, its not coming out as well

I really love this. I like the composition, the lighting, the tree. Great!

This is certainly a unique and subtle way to screen or filter the view of a skyscraper! I thought they were cherry blossoms at first.

...how I wonder what my ratings are... :)

 

(Well on a less poetic note, this picture was not digitally altered.

I was surprised by the effect I got in this photograph, but was

disappointed by the lack of comments after a day or two when I put it

up to be rated last time.) Please share with me what you think of

this shot! Thanks. :)

This is a nice shot, but I can't help but think I should see the top of the building, or conversely not see so very close to the top.

I agree with Thomas in above comment - the eye is lead to the top of the building and left there unsatisfied - pooh. Also the black triangle on the left - not exciting. I upload a tighter crop for testing that the picture benefits from my suggestion.

 

But what I find really wonderful is that the craggly structure of the tree against the skyscraper (the lights disappear) is mimicked by the lights against the black background on the left (the tree disappears). Bare trees are very picturesque and very photoesque it seems too.

 

(If anyone is actually wondering - none of the lights are actual stars; they are too dim to be seen at night so close to a lit building, even by human eyes.)

LAURA; I LIKE THE EFFECT THAT YOU ACHIEVED WITH THIS ONE...THE LIGHTS ALMOST FEEL AS IF THEY WERE STARS...NOT SEEING THE TOP OF THE BUILDING..DOSNT BOTHER ME AT ALL..BUT THATS THE BEAUTY OF PHOTOGRAPHY..IF YOU ARE UNPLEASED WITH THE RESULTS..YOU ALLWAYS CAN GO BACK AND RE-SHOOT...VERY NICE..CONGRATS RICKY LOPEZ DE GUATEMALA
