Self portrait: due south, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

Outside on the observation deck at "Top the Rock" I began to notice all the shadows. When I looked down besides this compass on the floor, there I was. :-)

To the south you can see the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, and even the Statue of Liberty. To the north there is Central Park and the George Washington Bridge. To the west is New Jersey, and to the east is Brooklyn and Queens.

Interesting subject/composition. It could benefit from increased saturation expecially in the compass area to make the blues really stand out.

Hola Brenda!

The concept is well achieved, but I miss the lower left corner of the compass... I tried to make a WS compensating perspective, but the result looks very artificial and rude...

I award :D for the idea and colors :)

Hi Brenda!
Good photo, promissing many nice destinations deserving exploring. Do not forget, that E shows Europe, where probably many people will be glad to meet you (Lovech for example).
Best regards!
Anton

Golly, how creative. I chuckled when I saw this as it shows that you are really looking and searching before you shoot. The title is a perfect and your message is clear.
