One World Reflections, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

One World Reflections

For my 250th photo from the United States, it’s time for a reflection photo again! It’s been a while. I’ve shown the reflections in the glass façade once before, but that photo was taken from a different angle, so also the reflections were different. The blue glass façade is part of One World Trade Center, the tallest skyscraper in the Western hemisphere with its symbolic 1,776 feet (541m). It is a bit hard to identify the reflected buildings, but I’m pretty sure the one at left is New York by Gehry.

Bonjour, cher Lars,
C'est curieux ces reflets des façades rideaux des nouveaux immeubles, ils forment des compositions contemporaines étonnantes.
Une réussite !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Lars,

Reflections can give different impressions; sometimes clear, mirror-like, sometimes abstract, sometimes like a puzzle and this type, truly Impressionistic. I have a feeling that had Monet studied modern buildings, he would have painted something like this! Even the subtle light can be seen! It's a great one to post!

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Lars,

Fantastic reflections in the shiny mirror like facade of the Freedom Tower, with wonderful distortions that give an abstract look. The reflected building at right looks like a cathedral. Tfs!

holmertz (101890) 2019-02-01 2:33

Hej Lars,
De härligt förvridna spegelbilderna blandas med små skymtar av livet inne i den speglande byggnaden, vilket ger en extra dimension åt bilden. Den är perfekt exponerad, men jag är lite tveksam om vänsterkanten. Jag lekte med tanken på att beskära bilden någonstans, men jag kom snabbt fram till att det var svårt att göra det på ett snyggt sätt och utan att bilden tappade balansen. Så du valde ändå den bästa lösningen.
Trevlig helg,
Gert

Dag Lars,
Fraaie New Yorkse bespiegeling ter gelegenheid van je 250 USA foto. Goed dat je de kraan aan de linkerkant in beeld hebt gehouden. Het geeft de foto een extra dimensie. Ik ben het met je eens wat betreft New York by Gehry.
Groet Rob

pierrefonds (113492) 2019-02-01 4:45

Hi Lars,

The reflections on the windows are assets to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the reflections. The light has a good effect on the colours. Have a nice day.

Hello Lars, beautiful reflections; I just love the distortions.
Excellent shot.
Best wishes Jean.

Bonjour Lars,

On croirait voir un immense casse tête où toutes les pièces sont brouillées pour rendre les choses plus difficiles. J'aime beaucoup le cadrage , mais je crois que j'aurais coupé la grue sur la gauche.

Amicalement

Serge

Yet another wonderful facade reflection of a skyscraper, Lars, from a city with endless such a mirror opportunities for the enthusiastic photographer.
Good afternoon,
Ike

The parallel world, the same as real but different, these impressionistic reflections are simply great

Ciao Lars
ho provato a tagliare la tua foto per vedere che effetto faceva un piccolo particolare del riflesso, straordinario.
Bello nel complesso tutto il riflesso, eccellente qualità.
Buon we

Hello Lars,
One World Trade Center certainly has a lot of space for reflections. :-) I think you're correct about the building on the left side. I like the inclusion of the crane. The new World Trade Center site is almost finished, but not quite. This view is so sharp that we can even see the fluorescent lights inside the offices.

mcmtanyel (67529) 2019-02-01 20:03

Hello Lars,
These are fabulous reflections. IMHO, leaving out the crane (or whatever that structure is on the left) would have a more dramatic impact.
Regards,
MT

BennyV (34726) 2019-02-02 4:03

Er zit een mooi, bijna Monet-achtig effect in deze weerspiegelingen, Lars. De kraan en de rand van het gebouw aan de zijkant verbreken dat effect wat en wijzen ons erop dat we naar een realistische foto zitten te kijken. Ik vraag me af of je lang getwijfeld hebt om die linkerkant van de foto erin of eruit te laten. Beide opties hebben voordelen (ik ben geneigd om je landgenoot, de filosoof John Cruijff te gaan citeren hier).

Groetjes

Benny

Hi Lars,

Very creative one here. The reflections make it feel as an impressionist painting.
Fantastic pattern, very well seen and captured,

Hansaphotos (11381) 2019-02-03 11:09

Hei Lars

Et veldig bra bilde med spennende refleksjoner. Forvrengingen skaper en utrolig interessant, abstrakt effekt. Mener å dra kjensel på noen av bygningene, ja. Veldig bra:)

Hilsen Erling

adramad (72526) 2019-02-04 10:42

Hi, Lars.
Excellent composition with these reflections and the effect of dismemberment of buildings in it, is like a painting of modern art.
Point of view, sharpness, luminosity, color and the composition chosen are excellent.
A very beautiful photo. I like it.
You have a good day.
Best regards.
Luis.

cornejo (61504) 2019-02-05 11:26

Hi Lars
reflection photos never get tiresome :) We can view these all day long and every day. and I agree, its pretty hard to figure out what is what here, but honestly, who cares :) Look at the final result, distortions, funky shapes, very cool. cheers

Hi Lars,
New York is a magical big town, and Manhattan is its real highlight.
I've visited this lovely city in 1999 and in 2005, I've enjoyed the gorgeous views from the South Tower in the Twin Towers before the attacks, but still I don't know the One WTC. I must to return in NY!
I Love this play of reflections on the glass façade of this new tallest building in the city, where we can see the new building of Frank Gehry, and the one at right, that I guess is the Woolworth Building.
Is a great composition.
Best regards,
Josep

Miguel82 (47110) 2019-07-12 11:05

Lars, the skyscraper and the tower are reflecting on that glass facade. It creates a pleasant visual result. The buildings look wider than they are in reality. Good framing.
