Oh, I do miss those... As kids, we used to take turns lying under these trees while a friend shook the branches. Beautiful.

Fantastic shot!

Thank you!

Beautiful I love this shot and the angle it was taken from
all the best

great focus for something flying overhead. good work.

The shot revolves aournd the girls face. Beautifully done.

Great light & not cutsey.

The look of determination on her face makes this photo such a treasure.

The snow and the way you have framed the statue make this pleasant to look at.

Striking. Interesting light.

Handsome. Unusual but handsome. And the photo is a classic portrait. Well done.

Thank you! I used to turn my nose up at image stabilization, but now that I see what it can do for me in low-light situations, I swear by it!

Hey, nice night shot! The contrast between the blurred yellow cab and the blue/green lights on the building works really nicely. The sharpness is right on!

Excellent comp.

Another good composition, including the framing of he skyline by the bridge. Bridge tower on left vertical of Rule of thirds is just plain good stuff!

Absolutely marvelous! You have beautifully used the trees to frame the cemetary. The simple color scheme, repeated patterns and lines are great.

I have, over the years, taken a number of cemetary images in Autumn and Winter. Some might call it morbid, but memory of those gone before is important to any society.

The associaition between Autumn and Winter depictions of graveyards and the finality of aging and death mesh well in such images as this. I'm not sure, but I think it was on Photo.net I saw a very powerful (European?) image of a cemetary with overhanging trees and a cement bench, all covered by snow and ice. The pic was well done and very powerful -- even as is yours.

Very nice. And thanks for telling us what we're seeing. It gets tiring to look at a plethora of pictures, even good ones and not know what we're seeing.

Very nice. And even the clouds do their part to make this image a success. Exposure is right where it belongs to prevent hot spots from washing out and dark areas from being total losses, :-).

You sure picked a good vantage point for this shot. It's great how the buildings are pretty evenly spaced apart and "stair-step" upward from left to right, :-). The barely noticable reflections on the water are good and the clouds add something, ??? ...another/different texture?

Seems I've not seen enough images of Ellis Island. This is a first for me and it's a good one. Thanks for not slicing the picture through the middle with the landscape, :-). And thanks for sharing.
