Central Park West.

 

Outside the Museum of the City of New York. My favorite American Hero, in town once again, Ever since he gave his speech at the Cooper Union, things just haven't been the same. He always shakes things up.

Great bokeh as well! Looks like it's taken with your favorite lens.

Thanks.

Ben,

 

A fine shot and I agree with you completely, Great colors and lighting.

Excellent.

Such perfect color. Didn't know he gave a speech at cooper union!

Today I guess I'm just hyper-critical (might be coming down with a cold!) anyway, the leaf/branch overhead is a distraction to me. The color elements for me are so important and drive us to Lincoln's face

In a really positive way. Color effects emotion...

So the branch kinda confuses my eye. To me this simple (not a slam) image is so strong that the branch has to go!

This time I'm 100% with you on the DoF control and the bokeh, which work excellently in this shot - I do share a little concern about the top of the picture, though I'm less concerned about the branch but do feel that there's a little too much real estate above his hat, which reduces the impact for me ever so slightly

Thanks all for your comments. Melissa, Lincoln's comments laid the foundation of what would later become the Emancipation Proclamation. He made an enormous impact on Republicans in NYC.
