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

I tried to find your photo but only the first one would come up. This is very lovely. Love the deiicate colors and the very harsh corregated iron. Is that what it is?

The arches as silhouette leading to those background steps offers thoughts of romance and escape. Exquisitely observed, JJ

Whichever possibilities have Central Park. Beautiful image. The inner light of the arcs is perfect.

I gotta break with the others...I think it's a bit over exposed. Not much...maybe just a half stop. But I think with this particular image that little half stop would make a pretty big difference, especially if you burned in the sidewalk in the foreground. Basically I like the image. I think the most interesting aspect is the lights coming from underneath. Bringing it down a half stop would make them more dramatic, in my opinion. And I think you'd get a deeper green from the facade as well.

Not something I expected to see from Central Park but then I've never been there! Looks lonely somehow, well captured.

Very inviting, arches upon arches, leading to those broad stairs, very leading. But first, have to pass through the dark tunnel, before the escape up the stairs.

Ada Panich from S.Benedetto del Tronto, Italy
A beautiful capture, perhaps I'd cut the floor on the foreground becouse the power of this composition is all in the portico, in the contrast between the colors of the frontal columns and those ones in the shadow.
Sorry for my english, JJ. :)

the soft pastel colours are lovely and seem to be quite a rare thing to find among all the vibrance of New York
