On The Steps Of St. Patricks Cathedral New York City

Went back to New York this year for another conference. Had a wonderful time and got a chance to test out a new digital camera I got. The Kodak V570 Dual Lens Digital Camera is what I choose and boy have I been ever so pleased with this camera. Probably the best little camera I have ever used. More on that later. I went to church at St. Patricks Cathedral while I was there and realized it was the same spot I took the picture below and conducted a little selective color experiment on it. The below image was shot 2 years ago and done with a 2MP camera on a Sony PDA. Not the best quality, but it worked out fine. I decided it would be a great opportunity to try out the new camera and compare the two pictures. I choose to post the one with more of the people in it then that one I did exactly like the below shot. It had more life to it I thought. The results are interesting, higher quality and a unique study in how the place has changed in just almost exactly 2 years. You can see a new building being installed in the top picture far off, and additional changes to the buildings. However there is a lot that has remained the same, as even the tree branches appear to be in the same order. Hope you enjoy. When ever someone asks me how New York was like I usually refer them to a picture like this.

Very neat. I like your decision on which elements of the photo to color.
