This is an interesting shot. How all those metal constructions lead our eyes into the background is remarkable. The small dark spots near the end of the bridge seem humans. Their size shows us how far away they are. Your PoV is perfect. I appreciate the realism of color and light. The photo is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

A perspective like this immediately won me over. Composed perfectly to draw the viewer right in towards third tiny two people just ahead of the vanishing point. Amazing that they are still so obvious. Detail and lighting are spot on. Truly excellent.

Comment from FBI GUY


My wife's brother lived just on the other side of the river in New Jersey. He was the last train stop before getting off at the World Trade Center. We loved New York and got to see a lot of it from a view not seen by the average tourist. These bridges works of art as well as function. It had to have been fun doing the walking tour. The rush of traffic going on next to you must have been exhilarating. We tried to got to a baseball game but left too later and got stuck in traffic on one of the bridges for an hour. No baseball game that night. The long view across the bridge gives us an idea during the busy times, the pedestrian traffic must have been shoulder to shoulder. No thanks in today's situation. Good clean lines, focus and lighting. I hope you enjoyed your time in New York.

This deserves a five star because the photo is just pure amazing and the view to me is also nice in my eyes. It low key looks like a long walk down the aisle. BUT!!! GOOD LUCK ON THE CONTEST!! :)

Great photo. It really draws you in to the depth of the walkway. Very crisp and clear from the close up details of the bridge to the skyscrapers in the diatance. The symmetry is great.

This is a great example of one point and atmospheric perspective. I love the viewpoint of the composition. Even the colors have a nice complementary contrast.

The spectacular composition that draws viewers focus across the bridge - so far away- and contrasting lines and curves that are shown with almost uniform soft brown color. Superb presentation and feel from this photograph.

    I never took pictures of bridges, but since seeing them posted I find them very interesting. Will have to find some to take photograph off.
