somehow, some of my better pictures are taken rather carelessly. normally i spend a lot of time on taking a picture (and many times do not even take it), but this one, i just leaned outside the window of a moving car, looked up, and shot the picture right away, before i lost the view. and i like it :) (but i do notice the extra thingie on the right side, did not want to take it out before hearing your comments)
Very nice composition & pespective...if you crop off the top and make the building reach almost near the top- it may be more effective... worth a try see if you like it. LOvely work
very interesting. i know exactly what you mean by creating good images carelessly. i have several great shots from a moving vehicle. this photo intrigues me. first of all is the composition: the angles and positions of the buildings are strong, but i would crop off quite a bit of the top of the image. the single tree against the harsh, geometric shapes of the buildings has great contrast. the other thing about it is the possible cultural implications. as americans, the attack on the world trade center has become a part of our history and culture. to put out an image that references or includes these now-absent buildings after-the-fact could most likely refer to the events of that year and beyond. the inclusion of the "M" of the Marriot could lead to many other references. as for the "thingie" on the right, i will leave that up to you as the artist and your morals on editing photographs. personally, it doesn't bother me. quite an essay i wrote but i hope i was of help. nice work, Inanc!
