SKATING ON WARM ICE

The Wollman Skating Rink in Central Park is now open, but temperatures are still in the 60s in the day here. I'm not sure why they're not standing in a puddle.

I haven't been able to keep up with comments the last couple of days, but I promise to catch up over the weekend.

Great scene. Has the air of a holiday spirit.

This one surely has a different feeling in b&w ... Wonderful choice! I really like the way you've composed the photo, with just a small part of the rink showing... it's almost like it landed there by accident.

WOW.... this is an awesome processing job. THis looks like a photo from the 50s or 60s

I love this, with the ice on foreground and New York buildings as a background.
Great NYC feeling. Your black and white is really well done too!
Guest 05-Nov-2005 13:13

Like an old fashioned Christmas card. Bit I'd like to see more of the skaters and less of the buildings :-)

Nice B&W
Guest 05-Nov-2005 01:47
The cropping is perfect, rich b&w. Love it!

I agree with Edith, great in b/w!

Lets hear it for refrigeration. What a waste of electricity (for this time of the year)
I like your black and white treatment.
Guest 04-Nov-2005 16:38
It's great on black and white image.. :)

Great B&W but it's too early for this, NBA and TV repeats :)

This spot looks familiar. A new temporary rink in Bryant Park just opened as well.
Guest 04-Nov-2005 09:00
this monochrome kinda works...the white sky is not an issue. :)
though would have liked to see more of the ring. my eyes are not happily settled in one spot in the pic.
Guest 04-Nov-2005 08:25
