What an amazing image! I love the way you "built" this one - the layering of subject matter and the great lighting. The curved chaise and reclining dreamer act almost like a foundation, "holding up" the rest of the photo. Then an intriguing horizontal layer of detail in the East Side skyline. Finally, a great layer of clouds at the top.
great b/w. though I normally like people in pictures, here the rest of the image appeals me more, the curvature of the bench is strong against the fence and buildings, and -in my view- doesn't need the person. great photo though.
