Nice set, especially Frosty Walker, and I also prefer the toned version. It conveys the cold more. I love the use of focus too.

I agree with Tim too, on both counts

Thanks for the comments, and yes, David, It is Central Park, on a very cold but very clear day. And yes, it is right posting here, that's what it's all about! It's only by putting your pictures in the public eye so to speak that you can learn where you can improve. I look forward to seeing some of your shots here!

Tim, I actually took about five shots of the guy on the phone, but the horse never moved! Likewise, waiting for the clouds while I was being jostled by hordes of Apple addicts trying to get into the shop was not really possible

Edit: Just found this one...

Thanks for the comments! The Times Square shot is a bit busy, it was the reflections that drew me to the scene, and I had to dodge oncoming pedestrians while waiting to get some people in the shot. I still find street photography a bit of a challenge, especially when being obvious, which is impossible to avoid with the Sigma 18-250!

Very nice series, and I especially like the last one. Was that the Apple store down near the SE corner of Central Park?

Yes, Kris, it's the Apple store near Central Park. I was on my way to the huge toy shop next to it (FAO Schwarz) when I spotted the logo with the building behind it. Off topic a bit, but I went to B+H and the K5 there costs more than in the UK when you take into account the cashback offer in the UK. Still not got one......

I was in New York last week, and have only just got round to processing these pics. I tried out a bit of street photography and had a wander round Central Park. The one of Central Park came out a bit HDR'ish, but it's just the one exposure with levels and curves tweaked. All taken with the K7 and Sigma 18-250mm lens.

C+C welcome as always.

Bonkers, I love it; great imagination and execution. The mono conversion is very good too.

Great shots, and I actually really like how they have been processed, especially three and four,. I agree with other comments about brightening up the lighthouse though.
