Isn't it a pain when one street light is blown out when you shoot a night shot? I love what you have done here, I would suspect this was shot at a high f stop like 22 or so causing the star effects around the lights.
This is a great shot only spolied by events not in your control. The only thing I would have suggested is cropping the picture ust to the right of the blue light, maybe right on the light pole with the burnt out light on it.
nice sharp night shot. Good job.

Tribute in Light
by MPRPRO

Comment:
Hello and thanks for the great votes and remarks.

I thought I would explain something to all of you, I was out on September 10th taking some really cool shots of speed boats at Liberty State Park in NJ for the perspective challenge, the location I was at was directly across the Hudson River from where the WTC once stood. This always gives me pause and a chance to reflect on things I have done and things I might have done in my life for many reasons. So I just couldn't let my desire to score high in a photo challenge overcome my desire to pay tribute to my personal loss on 9/11. This is why I shot the lights and didn't enter all those cool shots of the boats.

If you would like to read a personal story of my 9/11 you can go to //magicalmike.com/html/fr__mychal_judge.html
To watch a flash tribute to the people of NYC (which I made though only one of the images is mine the first one) go here:
//magicalmike.com/html/never_forget_9_11_2001.html

So look at that, I followed my heart and ended up with the highest rated entry to DP Challenge so far. Thank you all for your votes and noticing.

BTW if you look closely, I wasn't the only one who had this idea. I counted at least 3 other views of the Tribute in light. Good job all. For those not from around here, this is a one night light show which commemorates the loss we all sustained on 9/11. It can be seen over 20 miles away. The lights were placed in a different spot this year about 1/4 mile south of where the Twin Towers originally stood.

From the angle I took this shot the towers would have fallen right in front of the Statue of Liberty not so far to the right.

Be well all and thank you again for the votes and comments.

Michael
