Belvedere Castle, Central Park, NYC

    5DMKII + 16-35mm, f/11, ISO 100. (5 Photos combined in Photomatix).

    Belvedere Castle and it's surrounding turtle pond is a very surreal and painterly looking scene nestled in Central Park. A lovely little spot to get away from the city noise.

      Just a little to much HDR for me, but overall a very strong image. I love the light and the comp is great. Nice work Lisa.

      This reminds me of a laser etching. It has that kind of depth. Nice work.

      Lisa where have you been - your Mostly Photo listeners miss you!

      Not sure about this HDR though. The composition is great, but the PP feels a bit overblown. The castle's too light and the clouds too dark for my personal taste..
