BLACK SATURDAY, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

The Brooklyn Bridge ranks as one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century and remains one of New York's most popular and well known landmarks.
The impressive bridge spans the East river between Brooklyn and Manhattan and stretches for a length of about 1.8 km. The length between the large towers is 486 meter. This made the Brooklyn bridge the world's largest suspension bridge.
The cars are leaving NY in Holy Saturday, sometimes known as Easter Eve or Black Saturday

Hi Rui,

Nice shot at dusk, I like the red lines of the tail lights, they make the shot dynamic and live. I would never have thought it's New York, somehow it looked to me like one of the Middle East countries.

Best regards,
Marina

Hi Rui. Truly an interesting and strong color photo. In the hour of twilight colors and lights look very nice. I also like the red tracer of the car at the bottom. Total well seen and realized. Rgds, Wolfgang.

Hello Rui,
This is an excellent composition with the yellow line on the road and the red tail lights of the car emphasising the lines of the bridge. The colours, exposure and sharpness are all excellent. I like this very much.
Regards, Ann

Hi Rui,

This urban photo have the merit to show a rougher side of the Brooklyn bridge area and I like that - I would say it's a trendy image according to galleries and magazines showing cityscape shots without the sugar coating.

But what is regrettable is the quickly made post processing, dropping a different sky full of dust spots, showing the actual blue sky through every openings - the arches of the bridge, the water tank structure and around road signs.

You could have increased the quality of this photo by investing 15 minutes more to properly retouch it and dropping a more interesting cloudy sky that would have filled up the upper part more efficiently, as your image had a lot of potential.

Cheers!

André

Hello Rui,

The busy traffic entering Brooklyn Bridge is well captured!
The motion blur tells the story of speed, and the scene is nicely framed with a strong diagonal...
The atmosphere is well conveyed!

Greetings,
