Empire State Framed by Manhattan Bridge [Photo of the Day]
Uploaded: June 19, 2009 04:57:13
It took 45 years, but I finally took a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and this is one of the views from the east side. It's a wonderful vantage point to see views of the East River. Converted to black and white.

Very unique view Karen. I think the B&W gives it a strong impact.Nick. #1143546

Looks as if you're practicing for the framing contest -- and a wonderful job you've done here, too. It's perfect in black and white. The portrait crop is the perfect choice for the strong vertical lines and I love way the swooping cables lead the eye in on a diagonal from the sides. #7647235Patricia Seidler June 19, 2009
Great POV, framing and composition Karen. Perfect for B/W. One of these days Im going to find the time to do a walkover! #7647815Rita K. Connell June 19, 2009
