    What a great framing

    WOW, awesome composition and what a cool juxtaposition!!! The statue feels almost as tall as the Empire State Building! And the building seems to split the two halves of the photo int a diptych. Love this photo.

    It takes a true artist to create this image. I especially enjoy how you incorporated the gem in the dark foreground shadows.

    I agree with others’ comments–this is a striking composition and perspective!

    What a cleverly framed photo, Ellen! My eye immediately focuses on the brightly lit Empire State Building and then, all of a sudden, travels to the darker area in the image to discover the swimmer statue, who could be doing a handstand on a diving board before a dive or could be in a full on dive. Well done!

    Interesting photo. Statue of a person diving in New York City. Makes one wonder why this statue is there. Only Ellen can make this photo work. Great capture as usual.
