Madison Square II

Another more inclusive look. This probably should belong in POP photos, so I am posting it there. Taking to heart the remarks made on my post here, I took a stab at a broader view of the square itself.

Processing notes: A double processed blend for dynamic range in Photoshop, separating the two copies by 1 EV.

Thanks for looking. Your comments and critiques are very much appreciated.

I much prefer this one Phil and the way the branches point at the statue. I could see brightening the pedestal to draw additional attention there.

The blend has worked exceptionally well, Phil - the light and definition are excellent in my view. A very nicely composed image.
