What's the dot in the middle of the image? Plane perhaps?

Fabulous image, so different from the typical shot of NY. The detail that makes the picture is the water tower, from that you can pick out the city.

i love the new york shots... i can't wait to see more of the same, since it's the city i photograph the most myself.

And a big city like New York is one of the best places to start studying photographic architecture. Excellent composition! A well studied framming for sure. :-)

I love silouette photos like this

and what a good start !
simply black and grey , but awesome .

BW, shadows and both buildings pushing my sight towards the sky create an oppressive claustrophobic feeling. I have enjoyed the experience though. Great use of the architecture!

It's a new field of vision!Very cool!

thank you for how you see sam!

o'keefe, steglitz, hopper, steinberg, glaser, living and dead, all Take Notice! surely.

nice take! and an interesting way to map a city.

nice contrast. for some reason, it reminds me of the new Spiderman 3 movie coming out... with spiderman in the new black suit.

This is ok. Didn't really get my attention.

I like very much photography, altough I'm not a professional. I came across your page through photobloggies. Now this one realy strikes me. Very japanese, very zen, this way of looking at things -considering the negative spaces. Could there be anything without nothing?...

The straight line down the left. Yes.

not your best work sam...

Nice composition and exposure. Good B&W version of this with nice cloudy sky.

Like Kyle, I note how you've chosen to make the left buildings edge verticle while the right leans in.

I find it funny that the basic old design of water tower is so obvious - and this a wealthy district.

Intersting view in it's simplicity, Sam.

This shot really gives a sense of height. I like that it is a silhouette.

I think it works very well. I like the dark silouettes :-)

Great shadows in this shot! I love the tones and shade in this!

Great call using a silouette!

I haven't done any paintings for years, but I'm gonna make something like this on canvas-acrylic and that will be a big painting, thank you.

a powerful image - it's great!!

why are the clouds so fake as if they are generated by a program? The pic looks kinda cool though.

ahhh... love black and white. so much character.

This strikes me as a very unlikely image of New York, which is a good thing. I like the windows on the left building.

wow.
how did you get the left wall so perfectly aligned with the pixelrooster?

also, did you edit the sky in the middle? you can see a strange "pattern" there ... something you did erase from there?

This picture is striking for the high contrast and the mystery it provokes.

this reminds me of this old photographer who used to burn out a lot of his images to the point of lost detail, a lot of his shots were industrial and architectural like this, amazing work he did but all by hand. can't remember the name though...
