"Ekphrasis Draft 2 The Hell Gate Bridge sways with the cool wisp of the night sky, split into light and darkness by the splintering oak tree. The bright city lights fight off the dark temptation of the daunting bridge. The brave oak tree was once a symbol of guidance, and it stands alone rooted in the concrete burial ground of Astoria Park’s alliance of oaks and maples. I can see the wet condensation on the rough bark of the old oak, and I know they are his tears. As I gaze up towards him I look at where he is pointing. The decades that he has endured have left him confused now; unsure which direction is the right one. Could it be to the right, where the moon illuminates the Hell Gate Bridge? Or is it to the left where the culprits of arbor-cide dwell? I look out towards the reflection of the city, my home, and my safe haven, in the East River. The old aching oak has none."--( posted on Nov 11, 2011, commenting on the post 008 )
"The colors in this photograph are amazing. It seems as if the buildings are an extension or representation of some sort of rainbow. Nice use of contrast in color with elevation."

"This picture is great, I love the way the buildings look tilted. This leaves a stunning impression on viewers, and it also seems that the buildings are reflected the sky above."

"I really like the second picture, especially the way you captured the fountain in between the stone arches. I feel like the presence of people in the photograph also help depict a more concrete image of New York City landscape."

"I really like the juxtaposition between the essence of nature and the tall buildings in the background. I think this makes a great picture for the Snapshot NYC contest, and I like the aura of nature that emerges from the contrast of the foreground and background a lot."
