New York: Central Park (1st, 2nd and 4th); Union Square (3rd and 5th)
Inspiration: Someone called one of my earlier photos a picture of "an urban oasis." That description stuck with me when I posted these. A city must have them . . . these urban oases . . . or its people would not survive the concrete, grit, garbage, crowds, pressure and tightness that is city life.

You've really done a great job at the composition of these! I especially love the first and the third. The reflections in the third are just amazing. In the first, I love how you caught the building in the background, superb!

I really like the composition of the pictures, with the framing at the top & the subjects at the bottom. An influence of Piranesi / Friedrich?

That's true. Every city needs it.
Great composition.

I haven't been to New York for a very long time
Central Park looks really cool on your pictures
Congrats

I love the natural contrast central park provides in New York. It is such a peaceful, serene, and natural landscape framed against the hustle and bustle of the urbanized city.
