NY city intersection.
So many people have asked about this photo, I thought I should answer some of the questions.
No, its not done in photoshop and the blue is not added. Basically I took the photo and dropped all of the colors to black and white and then pulled back blue, I also brought back a hint of yellow to highlight the yellow cab. Ironically even the blue is lower than recorded by the camera, there is just so much blue neon lighting on this street that it just punches up like that compared to the other colors which have been dropped.
I took the picture from the middle of the intersection when the light was red, handheld... I had to watch for the light to change. I walked out 3 times and got about 8 or 9 shots in total, this one I liked the best... I actually wanted the two cars leaving and entering the scene, I felt it represented what I felt as I stood there...
Thank you so much for all of the positive feedback.

Wow beautiful shot! Shooting the city after rain always looks so cool. When I drive at night during a storm I always look at the reflections in the road, it makes me feel like I'm driving on glass and there is another city just beneath me.

Thank you. Yes its always my favorite time as well. I like the idea that there is another city, I'll think of that next time.

Love the approach to use a colour other than NY yellow. Makes it almost surreal. To me it adds an almost calming nature to the clearly erratic nature that is NY.
