Manhattan is so much larger than I could’ve ever realized without taking this cruise which circumnavigated the island. What was really interesting to me is to see both sides of the island. The one side is very cosmopolitan and the other is more industrial. Such is the yin and the yang of life. No matter how much glitz we put on top of things, the reality doesn’t live far away.

An island of brick and mortar. No thank you, but your images are stunning! Great contrast, Laura!! ❤

It was interesting to see what mankind has done but I was glad to not be living there! Thank you Amy. 🙂

Interesting to see the cross pattern in the sky over Manhattan in you ‘almost’ B&W photograph.

X marks the spot. Yes let’s call it “monochrome”.

I like them both but the clouds really helped (as they often do) with the first one.

I agree David! Clouds are usually a must. I only included the second photo to show the other side. It’s not that great of a photo actually lol

Great photos of one of my favorite cities!

Thank you Dan!

Thank you so much! So rare for me. 🙂

I definitely would go for the monochrome one, Laura. Stunning composition with lots of contrast and interest in the sky+water and the skyline. I wonder what a 10 stop filter would have done to this image. Reinhold

Thanks so much Reinhold. I wasn’t going to include the second but wanted to show “the other side”. A 10 stop on a moving boat would’ve made a disaster but I know what you mean. 🙂

But like the BW much better. Something about the sky
August 4, 2016 at 11:44 am
Me too! All those clouds I think.
August 4, 2016 at 1:47 pm
Totally agree. Much more dramatic
August 4, 2016 at 11:13 am
Terrific shots, interesting contrast.

Thank you!

Great photos, Laura! I like the monochrome. The clarity is incredible!
August 4, 2016 at 6:15 pm
Thank you! I’m into sharp photos these days. The Sony is amazing that way. With a little help from LR and PS. 🙂
