New York. Lower Manhattan.
Manhattan Bridge

I am not sure if it is obvious but the reason I took this shot is to show 2 NY icons in one shot: Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges

impressive work of mankind beautifully framed

I love the composition that leads the eye in and kind of traps it. Kind of hypnotic.

What a great shot Viktor. This has such a good feel to it. It says, and shows so much about the city.

This has a classic, urban feel to it. If it wasn't for the modern cars I'd think it was from the 1950s.

The bridge is just so overwhelming. The shot is almost too cluttered, except that the bridge is just this commanding presence that forces order into the frame. Nicely done.

Superbe ! Le traitement en n&b rend à merveille ! Vraiment très réussie, bravo ;D

Very nice black and white. I agree, were it not for the cars, it could easily be from an archive picture from years ago. (The only thing that distracts me slightly is that traffic light in the foreground--not that there is much that can be done about that.)
