Allen, a lot of manmade diagonals taking place here.... sad

.....in keeping with the wonderful symmetry I might crop in on the right side so that the two upper towers both have a similar amount of sky or gap at that point. Basically squaring the look up. I really like the old glory being left in full array of colors too......nice.

Lots of great diagonals here, David. Going b&w shows off all of the cables very well. I like the zoom effect running down the middle. Keeping the flag in color lets it stand out.

I love architecture, so this image is excellent. I get lost in the lines, textures, diagonals, and distant buildings, and could look at this for a very long time. The de-sat fits well, and the colour in the flag makes a strong statement.
Really nice work!

A cool composition, Allen. Lots of interesting angles and the old brickwork is really neat.

This is a place I've been to many times. My family is from Brooklyn and I was actually born there. This is an iconic image that is well known for its diagonal cabling and its Gothic architecture. The little touch of color from the American flag really adds to this.
