Another Shot From within Central park
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

They (limbs) are like capillaries in the sky! I guess they really are.

you've chosen a section of these trees very carefully to produce an image that feel composed rather than randomly shot. The silhouetted branches make a fine pattern shot.

Great winter tree abstract type shot. Wonderful to look at and makes me want to go climb a tree. If I was about 30 years younger.

They seem to be involved in a very intricate dance of their own :)

I love images like this. Is it because, in the city, the only place to hide is in the trees and the only road to freedom rises to the sky?

Your great POV has made these trees rather scary.
