New York Palace tree
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 19 December 2008 in Documentary & Street.
And yet another festive tree, this one is in the courtyard of a building called the New york Palace
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Your processing is masterful here, the tones and brickwork are utterly beautiful, and the ambience of the photograph that you've captured makes me feel very festive, like a kid again..... a very big kid!
Fabulous quality and detail

For some bizarre reason it looks like that tree just danced onto the platform. Maybe it's just too late and I should quit looking at blogs and go to bed...but...it does look like it just danced in to say hello.

like the color tone very much and the arrangement / composition is very pleasing to me, didn't care too much about the background, not a big deal anyway. Lovely shot.

I like how they've stayed with a common color and varied the size of the decorations on this tree. A beautiful setting nicely captured in your shot. Well done.

A Christmas tree who deserves framing that you carried out, and thus the beautiful photograph given at our sight. I like the accompaniment of this giant by these two luminous shrubs, and I find that the interaction with the human one is given by all these windows above him Bravo ;)
