    What a giddy, dizzying time that must have been, but what amazing images came from that shoot. I don’t believe you have anything like this in your portfolio! Brava!

    What a great shot, Ellen! As subject matter, this dense-packed city image is so alive with light. But what also stands out are the shapes I see throughout the image – rectangles, squares, angled facades. Very well done!

  5. Simone says:

    I absolutely love this photo – It feels like a tapestry of lights and infrastructure. So different and so well done.

    New York in black and gold! Gorgeous! I don’t know what roof top you ventured onto at night, but this belongs in your Iconic NYC series. It so well expresses the density and vibrancy of NY at night.

    Thanks. I got permission to shoot from the roof of a building on Water Street, more than 50 stories up. Talk about an adventure!

    What a wonderful perspective of NYC; full of electronic life, vibrancy, textures and tones. If you took this same photo and shrunk it to micro size, it would appear like a computer chip also full of life, vibrancy, textures and tones. Amazing creations, big and small!

    The contrasts in value, intensity, shape and line make this an exciting photograph, I love it. New York! New York!

    This photograph is on my list of my best favorite shots ever, and that’s not limiting it to only your work. What a shot!

    Wow, Jan, that’s quite an honor! Thank you.

    Perfect shot of our beautiful ‘city that never sleeps’! Looks like you had an awesome adventure, Ellen!

    What can I say that hasn’t already been said? I love it!

    I’ve said this about your work before, but I can imagine this as a painting, easily. You have such a great eye for composition and this photo is no exception–dizzying, exciting, beautifully capturing the city and its nightly display of sparkling lights. Great one, Ellen!
