EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by Carlo Allegri, a bird gracefully soars above the mesmerizing skyline of Lower Manhattan. Taken from the Staten Island Ferry at twilight on August 23,2014, the image showcases the vibrant energy and beauty of New York City. The bird's flight symbolizes freedom and independence against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers. The composition is strikingly balanced with an elevated view that allows us to appreciate both the urban cityscape and the vast open space surrounding it. The deep blue sky contrasts beautifully with the warm lights emanating from buildings, creating a captivating play between light and darkness. As night falls, silhouettes of buildings become more pronounced against a canvas of clouds. This juxtaposition highlights not only architectural marvels but also nature's presence in an otherwise concrete jungle. Allegri's creative use of perspective captures a sense of scale as we witness how small yet significant this wild animal appears amidst its man-made surroundings. The absence of people emphasizes solitude while inviting viewers to imagine themselves in this serene moment. This photograph serves as a reminder that even within bustling cities like New York, there are moments when one can find solace in nature's embrace. It encapsulates both tranquility and dynamism – an exquisite snapshot frozen in time for all to admire.
