I like the contrast between the curves and the hard lines of the lights.

Very nice. I'd love to get in there sometime when it isn't full of people. They sure did a beautiful job on the restoration.

Very nice Leo! Looks like you used your long lens for this. Did you use a tripod? Were you hassled about taking pics there? Thanks!

Why would he be hassled? Is it a taboo place to take photo's?
Just curious

Homeland Security, 9/11, NYPD etc... it has hampered some ability to shoot certain items, landmarks and locations.

Thanks, everyone, for your kind words.

It was the busiest hour when I took this photo (I actually took this on the way back home after work). In general people are allowed to take pictures of the terminal, but not inside the platforms. As I walked into the platform and was trying to take a couple of shots, I was immediately stopped by 4 to 5 undercovered cops/national guards (??). They didn't even id themselves, but just asked me not to take any pictures.

This shot was taken handheld with 20D and 50mm at 1/125, f/1.4, ISO 800.

Thanks again for looking :)
