The Financial District by Tom Cash, on Flickr

A 170 second exposure of the Financial District from over the water on Liberty Island.

The largest building in this shot is the 1 WTC, currently the largest building in the Western Hemisphere.

The building with the green tip towards the right is the Woolworth Building and one of the original skyscrapers.

On the left and roughly on a third, is the Empire State Building, all the way back in Midtown Manhattan.

I don't normally like, erm, what's the word? filtered? photos but the simplicity of the colour scheme along with the clean lines of the cityscape makes it extremely pleasing to the eye.

When I was a young lad, I remember my late Grandma saying to me "Don't pick up any feathers" why I don't know, she never said,
so today I was out with the camera and spotted a feather on the grass, so thought I know take a picture of it instead of picking it up.

Cannondale CAAD8 105 by Tom Cash, on Flickr

This is my Cannondale CAAD8 105. I've only had this for two weeks and I wanted a snap of it before the white bar tape got mucky.

I thought the bike would really pop against a red-brick wall, but I think the busy livery of the bike actually clashes with the busy pattern of the brickwork. What's more, I think that some of the bikes detail is lost against the bricks, such as the pedals.

I'll try again soon with a more neutral background.

Sharp bike I like the lighting on the picture but I like seeing the drive side of bikes. I think that all the lines made by all the mortar joints clash with the high spoke count highly visible wheel. I think the bike not being centered along with the patchwork bricks, and the white edge of the apron that the bike is on, along with the weed growing thru the sidewalk and the spoke reflectors just make the picture maybe a little too..."busy". The bike does stand out however and it is not a bad picture. I actually kind of like it.

I like the space in front of it and the wall works but maybe moving the bike away from the wall and using a longer lens and larger f stop would separate it more.
