Bethesda Terrace, Central Park, NYC

The beauty that we are capable of creating is a constant source of awe

and pleasure. Thank you for looking at my attempt to render a scene as

I experienced it.

... I think that the slight off-center positioning of the camera helps here, because it balances the man in the right arch. Beautifully exposed, great detail in the stairs, the reflections on the ceiling, and the park in the distance. Congratulations, an excellent effort.

nice photo

A well composed b&w, a very fine capture........

I agree with the previous comment about the off-center composition. The obvious thing would have been to center the columns and stairs - I'm afraid I would likely have done that.. :-)

 

Placing the camera position in line with the rightmost column puts stairs and light behind the figure rather than the wall. It also lets you include that arch in the wall on the left, thus extending the arch motif a bit.

 

Very nice.

Very well composed, and nice use of B/W conversion.The DOF is great,as well as the play of light on the upper FG.The man is well placed on the frame. the empty surrounding accentuates the lone figure . very nice image

Wonderful light, tone, composition; I love the reflections and the placement of the man makes the photo for me! Very well done. Thank you for sharing. :)

Thank you, Trisha, for looking. Yes, this is one of my all-time favorites.

perfect shot
