Black-And-White Photo Competition 2 2016 : Entry Number 84

Beautiful composition that shows the Empire State Building and people experiencing it. The silhouettes and the framing of the city adds intrigue and shows proportions. Well done!

Photographer: Ralph Krueger, Berlin (Germany). Camera/lens: Olympus Pen E-PL3 with Panasonic Lumix G 20 mm f/1.7 ASPH (H-H020). Exposure details: f/4.5, 1/400, ISO 200 Location: "Top of the Rock", Manhattan, NYC Date: 2011-12-22, 2:32 PM. | | The "Decisive Moment" (Henri Cartier-Bresson): When I had entered the top platform of the "Top of the Rock" I glanced at this almost emblematic scenery. This "room with a view" was as empty as I had never expected it to be! - Hence I immediately raised my camera, waited only a second and shot this photograph. Voilà! :-) | | Many thanks to the jury for choosing this photo! I'm really honoured!
