@photocirclebot Thanks Kindly
spectacular work of art friend @tattoodjay I congratulate you for sharing this work on this platform, have a good night and resiva a warm greeting from venezuela.
Thanks Kindly ;)
Phenomenal pictures, thank you for sharing. I didn't realize NYC had all of these amazing monuments. :)
My Pleasure to share there is so much cool art to see all around NYC
I really like all the "peace" themed art around the UN. Missiles into statues. Very cool but doesn't roll of the tongue like swords into plowshares :) I feel like there should be some symbolism in the longboat sculpture but I'm not getting it. Nice photo and sculpture though
@steven-patrick Thanks I found a lot about the construction of the boat but not so much about its history, perhaps during the Irish Famine many went abroad maybe it is related to that
Hi there ! Those are some very good art pieces :) A candy to the eye of any tourist :) Haven't been there yet but thank you making us feel like we toured it already :) Good day
Thanks kindly such a kind compliment
You're welcome @tattoodjay Good day
Amazing photos!! Were those raw from the camera? or did you do some touchups in Lightroom or Photoshop. Looks like a little bit a saturation, maybe some slight curves, and levels adjustments?
All were shot in Raw mode and edited in fact all my photos are edited and often are three shots at different exposure settings merged together
very nice!
