Love the tight vert crop,the color contrast and the feeling of motion that you captured. VERY NICE! #1464752

Hi Zita. It's actually a panorama, one image wide and two tall. I really didn't have much of a choice over the width. How I love NYC. There I was backed up against a storefront window mashed against my tripod with the throngs passing by. I will say that New Yorkers don't bat an eye at your antics, they see it all. It's been 8 months since I shot this and now discovered I had a great opportunity closer in, using the reflective building to capture Grand Central Terminal, and from the other side the Chrysler Building. #10147767

Well thank you Cynthia. I do get to the Big Apple once in a while and have a gallery containing over twenty shots, many of them panoramas. I see you are a world traveler judging from your gallery. I'll revisit tonight and not be rushed.

If you have a chance I have two galleries, 1 here on BP.com, this link:

And all of my panoramas in much larger format on Google's Panoramio here with lots of NYC:
