    Very cool. I like the coolish colors and the architecture. clap.gifclap.gif

    Was there/is there a possibility of using a longer exposure, say 3-5 sec to give some motion/blur to the people? Might be worth trying ...

    Howdy Anthony,

    Great shot, really like seeing the inside of the Met.

    So much going on, you really added a lot of points of interest.
    Take care,

    Mark, thanks. Motion blur is a great idea, but I was there on a Saturday and tripods/monopods were not allowed during weekends (too many people). Even on weekdays, one must get a permit to use a tripod.

    Tisun, here in Washington DC tripods are not allowed in the museums and monuments as well. No way, no how. Try a large "photographer's" bean bag.

    Oh, and I like your shot also. Gives me some ideas.
    Enjoy today, tomorrow is not guaranteed.

    Yeah, what a crock. A permit to use a tripod! Crazy. Nice work. I'm not sure I really dig the yellow people. How does this look in B&W?

    Thank you all. Kevin, that's a great idea. Why I didn't think of a bean bag -- there probably was a ziploc bag of mixed nuts and dried fruits in my backpack. jeffmeyers, I like the color one better because it shifts focus away from the dominant arches to the people and plant below, but the B&W looks interesting, too.
