Downtown Manhattan

Colorful green leaves against a Manhattan Skyscraper

Downtown Manhattan

Green leaves against a tall Skyscraper

This picture was shot in Downtown Manhattan on a warm summer afternoon. Walking around I saw some interesting well polished granite benches, so I took a few pictures of them and sat on one of then, I looked up, and there were these leaves that looked like stars against a tall typical Wall Street building and this was what I got. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did taking the picture.

This is a great shot. I like that the windows in the background are a little out of focus. Really nice composition. And angle of the windows.

It is almost a surreal photo. As if it is painted on the wall. I like it very much.

The colours you develop in this image have a deeply unique hue. I love the signature style you bring out in pictures. The colour is so alive and so even in tone. Striking art.

  I think you comment is the cherry on top of the dollop of cream.
  Thank you so much, I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
