Manhattan Night View on the Ride

I took this picture with my camera while riding an N train across Manhattan Bridge last weekend on March 16, 2014. It was around 7 p.m., so the City was already well illuminated. The studium of the photo is the reflection of the interior of the train car, the blurred reflection of my hand holding the camera, part of the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn, part of the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Downtown skyscrapers, the Manhattan Bridge’s handrails and the night sky. Also, in the background, we can see part of New Jersey coast line. The punctum of the picture is the reflection of the train carriage interior overlapping the view of the night Manhattan. It creates some unrealistic, Photoshop looking effect. The dominant impression from the photo is a bit moody and tense due to the reflection of the steel interior of the train carriage lit by the cold, intense light from the ceiling  contrasting with the soft glow of the Brooklyn Bridge and the skyscrapers. If it wasn’t for that reflection, the picture would look rather relaxing and appeasing.  The right frame of the picture cuts off the reflection of the train carriage door. The left frame cuts off the sky, part of the Brooklyn Bridge, East River water and the handrails. The top frame cuts off the sky and the reflection of the train carriage ceiling. The bottom frame cuts off the reflection of the carriage doors and the  part of the bridge below the handrails.
