Continuing with another shot from Central park,
this is looking over the reservoir with the glow of the sunrise
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

Utterly gorgeous, JJ. The scenic splendour and glorious reflections overwhelm my eyes, such a wonderfully composed and observed shot. LOve the burned in edges and the ambience of the scene. Wonderful

Did you see that movie with Will Smith, "I am Legend?" This looks like it could have been a scene out of that movie. I don't know why, it just reminds me of it.

A really fascinating city indeed, always has been... its power of freedom I suppose... a jewel in architecture.

Who can say that a city does not offer stamps, idyllic???. A test is this precious photography. Beautiful reflections of timid winter color.

Strange how the city itself looks only partly awake.

So often we see shots to the south, looking toward Central Park So./59th Street, but rarely to the east.
This is very pretty and I like the ducks you included in this beautifully reflective shot.

And there was another city right under the actual city visible through the magical lake only. A lovely framing of the shot. I like how who you have taken two straws in the frame too. Give a tiny idea of what could be on side of the lake.

Very nicely done, the light is very good and the vignette has worked perfectly to emphasize the composition. Well done.
