I'm so glad you kept part of the road in the upper part of your image. It makes the viewer wonder when this road will collapse.

I like the three main bands you have identifying this image. The lower bright grasses tell us we are looking in and across a field the main band is full of good colour coordination (in blue), great patterns and due to your adept usage the contrast is excellent and gives a feeling of depth. Then you have the fiinal band across the top showing tops of cars, trucks all being held up by the spindly thin rods and one cannot help but take a big gulp. Is that road beginning to give way? - or is that just my imagination taking me on a ride through your posting.

Interesting and visually attractive image.

You've turned ugly into a work of art. It's a layer cake of interesting shapes and textures. Good shadow and light contrast. The cool shadow area works to tie all the many pieces and details into a cohesive scene. It is much like an abstract painting. Nicely done!

What an interesting composition. So much for the eye to explore. Very nice touch having the warm grasses in the foreground against the cooler elements in the background. I can almost smell the city in this shot. Thanks for sharing.

WOW this is a total different perspective of New York, the hidden spaces nobody will see of not resident

super capture, your picture is well framed, excellent in distance and composition
Your focus is perfect, clear and sharp in detail
I think you shot is perfectly balanced, you managed it to create a blue abstract with this old structure - great photographic view, well seen, well done, thanks for sharing

Very impressive and a bit scary. Wouldn't want to venture over that road. The framing is very well done, with the light grass at the bottom, the darker center and the bluish buildings with mimic the sky.

And this road is open to traffic? I like the juxtaposition of light and shadow. Like the contrast of our great cities rotting from below. All you technical stuff is spot on. This image tells a great story. Thanks for sharing, really, thanks.

I am surprised that NY allows such dilapidated structures to be used! This has a surrealist feel to it. Looks like something out of a Mad Max series. Inoovative shot of an unusual subject. good luck!
