Two stops in the Big Apple

Had a day in NYC recently and visited the WTC memorial and the Met.

The two memorial pools occupy the footprints of the twin towers.

Small crop (100%)

Old masters are the Metropolitan Museum of Arts big draw (I wonder whether the SD1-M has been used much yet to copy art work)

Not recommended: like the Rembrandt, this was handheld at 1/15 sec

In case you haven't tried -2. sharpening in SPP, then using a low radius (.3 in this case) in PS unsharp mask, here's an illustration (100% crop of previous image). That so/so image on the right contained a lot of information

A pleasant place to rest one's feet: the American Wing court
