Gulls

New York City. A view of Manhattan from the Staten Island Ferry. I blew this shot last Christmas but on second thought I like it well enough to post now. If you can time the ferry ride for the season, you can catch the Manhattan skyline as the sun goes down and then catch the lights on the return.
Richard, this is truly a spectacular and dramatic image. Can’t believe the light and colors here. So much drama in this image. wow! I’m numb with excitement.
Thanks Dilip. I guess I was being too hard on myself back then because I skipped over it as unfocussed and noisy. Go figure.
Richard, I remember being there with you, what a great time seeing Manhattan from the ferry. I’m glad you took a second look at this excellent photo. Dramatic skies, and what fine light on the gulls and the buildings. Wow.
yes this is a great shot it is just perfect thanks so much for sharing and you are being too hard on your self.

I like the mood of this, Richard.
Wonderful shot Richard. You are a very touch critic of yourself!
Thanks guys, I’m delighted you like this one. Yeah Jon, I do tend to be pretty picky about some shots and passed over this one. Good thing I kept it around.
unfocused and noisy, or wabi-sabi??

Sheryl: Dang, now I have to dig around through my rejects folder for more wabi sabi. ;)
