I always think there’s no way that NYC can look bad whatever the weather and that photo proves it. Great shot BTW.

Indeed - even I got some good pics in NYC :grinning:

There’s something about older photographs that I just love - and no matter how many filters or photoshopping someone does it just doesn’t have that same feeling. Maybe it’s a film thing I dunno.
