Rockefeller Center - Dressed for Christmas

So even an old Jewish guy like me can't fail to be impressed, and yes, a bit moved, by the beautiful Christmas displays at Rockefeller Center.

I had wanted to walk down the Channel Gardens to get that classical view, from Fifth Avenue, of the angels along the Gardens and the Christmas tree straight-on against 30 Rockefeller Center - but there was just too large a crowd for me to even get close in the time I had left before catching my 6pm bus back home. I detoured west on 51st Street, which was less packed, at least in relative terms, and took this photo from the north side of Rockefeller Plaza.

Very nice composition, Steve. Is this an HDR image? If so, good job on the HDR work.

Thanks, Warren - yup, they are all 3-exposure images merged with the NIK HDR Effex Pro add-in.

The blue lights are a beautiful winter dream... Leaving the warmth of the tree untouched. Marvelous!
