Sun-kissed NYC

Posted by Niña (New York, United States) on 11 May 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

This is my third visit to the Top of The Rock and just as always, it never fails to take my breath away. My first two visits were on a high noon and on a late evening so it was a first for me to see a sun-kissed NYC just as the sun was about to set.

Ah that brings back memories. I never saw it from the "Rock" though, just the Empire State Building...as tourists do!

Nice shot!

@Margie: thanks margie! i've seen it from the Empire State as well... most of the movies i love were shot in its view deck. but i love the Rock better as you can see the Empire from it. =) i think it's more romantic! ; )

Wonderful lighting - that evening sun is great. Really nice composition as well, although the horizon looks a little crooked to me (that is something I often point out to people!!). Well done!

@Chris: thanks chris. yeah i admit it is a bit crooked. haha it was really windy out there. too difficult to keep anything straight. even my hair was all over the place. *lol* appreciate all your comments and tips!

Difficult to imagine a gentle shot of NYC and, yet, here it is. Sun-kissed, indeed. Beautiful.
