This is great. What color there is, is generally very warm and stands out very well against the snow, which dominates the frame. It does seem like sort of an idyllic scene.

Lovely point of view of snowy Central Park. Like the light, the composition and tiny skaters that give a touch of life to this wonderful scene.

Ah ha, I told you I liked this one some time ago and I still think it's great. It's a great POV and the figures are so small and crisp it almost has a tilt shift look about it. Super stuff :)

This is fantastic! ... I love the first light's glow on the treetops and the buildings in the distance, contrasting with the cold blue of the snow and ice.

Wonderful shot and composition, but the top of frame is absolutely fascinating: the colour of those trees, the cold faces of all those skyscrapers. I love it.
