About Picture background: First of all: Happy new year to everybody! Been away for some time now and got this picture as a comeback and a farewell to 2005. Hope everybody is fine at the moment. Will start to comment on my friend's pictures the next days.

Obviously, this is the Empire State Building shown in a double feature (real and mirror). a bit hard to shoot as the lights tend to be overdone. there are a lot of light spots in here and a tendency towards symmetry but I like the picture anyway ;-)

PS concept: my usual layer stuff (gradient, color, fill adjustment layers). mild noise reduction to compensate ISO 800.

As always: Honest feedback highly appreciated

Excellent composition Thilo, the reflection is so very well seen - obviously not a chance capture ;-)

Love the colours too !

A belated Happy New Year Thilo, sorry I got tied up with shiftwork :-(

Best wishes,
Steve

Welcome back
.
The first thought about this picture gives me a math "Reality vs virtuality.".

At a second thought I begin to feel like "Is this a political approach for what u see is not what u are going to get in year 2005".

Anyways very good composition.

Hi Ursula,

habs doch gerade erst online gestellt ;-)

Danke für Deine Wünsche. Und ja: Die (Arbeits-)Realität ist nach so einem langem Urlaub wirklich ernüchternd =)

Liebe Grüße,

I like the colors and feel of this. Wondering if differentiating between the real view and the reflection artificially would be interesting. One way to think about it is that you have the freedom to impart a complementary symbol or message in how you treat the left hand side. Ignore at will - just a somewhat vague idea in the new year :-)

Dear Hugo,

thanks a lot for your wishes. yes, the vacation was really great - hard to come back to reality =)

I wrote the remark about the symmetry as my girlfriend made a perfect diagonal shot of this setting. but you're right: This time it's hard to bring in some tension by geometry.

thanks a lot for the profound words.

take care,
thilo

Dear Elisa,

thanks for your warm words. busy and colorful, you named it ;-)

and yes, one must be very cautious not to get too many flags in the pictures ;-)

Take care,
thilo

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the wishes. Originally, I thought about making a remark on the NON-PS manipulation... but I reject the idea as that's not my style anyway ;-)

take care,

Thanks Thilo ... wish a Prosperous and Happy 2005 to you and your family!

I like this colourful shot very much; a beautiful capture of a busy NYC ~ the flags play an important role here :)

Hallo Thilo,

willkommen im neuen Jahr...ich hoffe Du hattest einen fantastischen Übergang in NY!!

Die Lichteffekte im goldenen Rahmen sind ein guter Übergang hier zwischen Realität und Spiegelung.
Trotz der Lichterflut sind viele Details zu erkennen, selbst noch in der Spiegelung. Gefällt, mir auf jeden Fall!

Liebe Grüße
Verena

Hi Thilo, A very happy and prosperous 2005 to you too! It's good to have you back. I trust you had a great time?

This sure is difficult to capture properly, but I think you did quite well. The "tendency towards symmetry" is in this case one of the key elements of the photo, I believe. Only a more diagonal composition could maybe have reduced that effect, but that would also introduce a more "forced" element.

The subject and the environment it's in (ESB) lends itself perfectly for such a shot. Impressive and colourful, and a very recognisable landmark. A clean shot of the tower could easily become a "cliché shot", and you prevented just that with this solution. Very well done, a well executed and creative approach....:)

Cheers,

Hugo
