manhattan's bryant park




























I love how this woman stared straight into the camera as I photographed her. she reminded me 
 of the famous painting by edouard manet, 'bar at the folies bergères. this was taken as I walked past bryant park early last thursday evening. a few steps away I looked up and saw these amazing trees just inside the park, a beautiful oasis in the middle of a noisy city.

I can see I've missed a lot of really excellent shots recently.

Where to begin?

Nice Lily.

they're both great shots
the server is probably an actress ;) so she likes the camera

Yes, indeed she does remind me of the Manet painting. Did you tell her? She'd be flattered.

Thank you for all of your nice comments everyone! You always make my day!
Hi Bibi, I was walking as I took this, barely stopping for the shot since I was lagging behind a group of people & felt a little rushed. I didn't see the Manet reference until after I uploaded it. Maybe she will find her way here somehow!

You are a very good observer and photographer. I love the waitress pic.

This is so interesting because the instant I saw this photo pop up in my reader I thought, it's just like that famous painting by that, that guy...his name and the name of the painting escaped me so thanks for putting it up there! Great shot.

She does remind me of that painting! It's like she's the only one who sees "the artist". Great shot.

I have a weak spot for catering staff. Always have. She's stunning.
