MOMA Impressionism

I shot this in the sculpture garden of The Museum of Modern Art during a blizzard that stranded me on the Isle of Manhattan in Jan' 05.

I personally dislike the tangle of the trees in the center of the image and wonder if this ruins it.

Thanks

I disagree that the tangle ruins the image. In my humble opinion it even adds to it! Adds to the tumultuous feeling.

Real nice Vic. Didn't realize that you were a Holga user. I love mine, but wish they would come out with a new version featuring a crappy zoom lens!
 
Thanks for the feedback.
I love my Holga and take it everywhere . I even carry an index card with the various effective film speeds I can get from Tri-X with different developers and techniques and label them as I shoot ("v.cloudy:acufine", "v.sunny-pull 2 stops" etc).
Maybe one could scavange a rolleinar-like device to make a tele-Holga..?
I'm thinking of making a viewing frame to carry along.
 
Nice shot....It looks like a bromoil print on my monitor!
Hey that snow is scary!

i can't put my finger on "why" but i like the framing of the sculpture and of the trees. maybe it is soft vs. hard, i dunno, but ( to me) it helps make the image ...
i also like the ground below the trees ... it looks like static, and i love static!
 
I like the jumble of trees as well- they appear to be huddled together in the cold.
 
Wow Victor this is awesome, great mood about it. I think the trees give a foundation to the lighter tones around them.
 
So glad to see this again! Wow.
