Central Park from Top of the Rock
Guess if you can pinpoint my favorite part of this photo. I debated cropping it to isolate it but decided the sky was just too nice. Considering the almost jumper yesterday this was taken on a nice day. Sorry once again for a lack of comments on your streams as I've been busy at work. I'm really itching to start shooting again soon.

Hint: Think "Smushed"
Edit: Totally discretionary spending but was thinking of saving for a 24mm 1.4 L or just picking up the Samyang 8mm 3.5 Fisheye. I'm leaning towards Fisheye because of its unique PoV and (in my opinion) steal of a price.
Of course, I am always looking out for great private rooftops or unique public locations and if anyone knows of any please contact me via flickrmail or rbudhuphotos [at] gmail.com.

Glad you left it as is. It's a beautiful picture, and I love having all the elements (sky, city, park, people) in it.

Love this. great vantage point. Really shows the context of the viewing platforms with the amazing view you have from it.
Barry Yanowitz (21 months ago | reply)
wow, this shot has both the grand, epic scale with that gorgeous sky & skyline, and also the street / candid element, especially with that woman smushed against the glass (which i'm guessing is your favorite part?)
