This is a fantastic capture!  Appreciate your (as always) keen eyes and your reflex nerve!

Thanks, Elsa. Yes, it was intriguing, but this was New York!

I am always irritated for a moment as good art shot be -- irritating --- then I remember the sculptures on the Highline Park ... Great contrast you added: lively young woman & zombiesque sculpture

Mike,
Interesting picture that asks more questions than it answers.
And I noticed the young lady is one of the other six people in the world still shooting film.
That's a Nikon F2 she's schlepping. See? Film is not dead.
Robert
I shoot with film. That's film. F...i...l...m. You remember film. It was in all the papers.

Thanks Armando. It is very lifelike both in texture and colour, and is a great magnet for the selfie brigade as you can imagine!

Thanks, Robert. It is a curious piece of sculpture, but I don't know what it is about.

The lovingly cared for F2 was the second thing that I noticed about the scene!
