He must’ve been on his lunch break. Empire State Building from the top of the Rock taken September 2012. Which version do you prefer – color or monochrome?
F11 – 1/160 – ISO100 – 50mm (the only lens I packed)
Where’s King Kong?

I vote monochrome. It gives your photo a dated feel, even though a few of those buildings are definitely not dated.

I was thinking the same thing. I mean after all, King Kong (the original) was done in monochrome.

I’m with John on this one. Gotta be the black and white! Great shot.

Thanks! It was fun being up there viewing NY from an entirely different angle.

I love them both! This is by far my most favorite building in all of NYC!

To look through King Kong perspective, yes I agree with the others. The monochrome is better than the color one.

Thank you for the comment. It does give it a certain “mood” doesn’t it?

Oh.. I love both.. but most likely would have to choose the monochrome!

Thanks
I’ve said the monochrome look gives it a bit of an RKO pictures look. (Let’s see who gets that reference)
