I'm happy to report that this photo was taken from a safe, dry place. I do love a great stormy sky, though, don't you? You're looking northeast from 6th Ave., over some Greenwich Village rooftops. [See more Skywatch photos here.]
In a community college art class more decades ago than I might want to admit (although I can still manage to count them on the fingers of one hand) I was taught to pay attention to the balance between negative and positive space. The balance you have achieved in your nicely evocative photo is, as J Bar has written, superb.
I was toying with your cloudy negative space and wondered if it would mirror the buildings if I looked at the photo upside down. But positive and negative are opposites. Look what I found to be the opposite of your NY skyline seen upside down here.
great stormy sky Alexa. reminds me of Mary Poppins!
ReplyDeleteMe too ! I was humming "Chim, chimney..." when looking at this great sky of yours..
ReplyDeleteI was humming, "Pointy-Topped Doo-Dads" as soon as I saw this... I love it, Alexa ~ the sky and the skyline.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice stormy picture!
ReplyDeleteNice! And I love that NY skyline!
ReplyDeleteSimply superb.

Upside down with positive and negative reversed.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought this was just an "okay" picture!
ReplyDeleteBut, hey, TG (and all of you), I'm seeing it in a whole new light (so to speak).
Glad to see that you were dry! Nice shot!
