I took this one a month or two back in Central Park. It's a beautiful place to just go and relax. In good weather, the park is bustling with activity. I have yet to go there in the winter, but I'd imagine that there are still the fair share of bikers and runners.

C&C is greatly appreciated, thanks!

This one was manually focused. I know the random chess piece is going to get to some.

Some nice candid street photography you got going here. ;)

He seems really intent on deciding his next move in the first picture. :D Good job on the capture.

Chess players make super subjects (so does the chess board for that matter). Great shots.
