Mirrored Image, Brooklyn Library Facade, NYC

Strangely, this is one of the first images I took of New York upon arrival... and thus, the beginning of a new chapter... :)

very unusual image jaycee!!.. did you mirror it after the fact? coz the shadow up the center looks very odd.... seems almost a religious thang, but what religion i don't know... great work my friend!!! kisses and hugs to you, and thanks for visiting me :D

@Elaine-: hey Elaine! :) yeah i just mirrored it in photoshop -- think i should have either darkened the matt or pushed the two halves together closer... :P c'est la vie!! :) x

I agree about pushing the two halves closer. Otherwise nicely done.

I think there is more to this image than at first seems, very thought provoking dj, perhaps seeing more will reveal the story.

Love this architectural detail that you captured here. I like the gradual change in color the lighting had on the figurines. I also thought this was a capture of columns close together and not something mirrored in Photoshop. The gap in the middle I like since it does provide me that appearance as columns. Interesting that you speak of "chapter" when speaking of this photo from the library. :-)

A new chapter in a new adventure story. It is going to be an epic adventure.

Very bright image, DJ. And what I like mostly about your NY series, you are not repeating the cliche images of NY, but showing this City in a very striking detailed way. Keep it up. As a New Yorker I can truly appreciate it!

@Nataly: hello and thanks Nataly!! i certainly LOVE this city!!! so many wonderful embellishments whether it is grandiose architecture, local neighborhood character design, or even the normal everyday urban decay!! just amazing!! old on new on old... it keeps me enthralled and searching for more photo opportunities!! cheers to you!!! :)

How is it going? Does the image have any symbolism?

The excellent introduction - symmetrical, with beautiful light and the arrangement of details.

Such a symmetrical welcome....there is something about this that draws you right in. Symbolism is crazy throughout this frame....love this!

Took me a while of examining to realise that you had done the mirror effect yourself - wonderful!

Interesting shot and what may it presage? Freedom to fly just as you want to? and the snakes? a sign of caution? Maybe I am reading to much into it. But it is great.
