Statue of liberty 2-28-2014
Crossing New York Harbor as late afternoon transitions into evening delivers some of the best lighting on the open water. The golden hour glow hitting the western horizon creates a warm separation between the monument and the distant city landscape.
Lady Liberty stands tall at the center of the frame, washed in soft natural light that accents the green patina of her copper robe and stone pedestal. Warm pastel orange and pale blue tones blend across the evening sky, contrasting nicely with the autumn tree line below. An American flag flies beside the fort, adding fine detail to the wide horizon.
