New Orleans form the 19th floor

[RBSinTo]

Taken late last year when my wife and I took a short vacation in New Orleans.
Looking down from our nineteenth floor hotel room, I liked the view of an intersection with the shadows of the palm trees and pedestrians which added interesting elements to the composition, and grabbed this shot.

You have captured a scene that is full of interest Robert. Nice.

I agree with Bill, very interesting composition...

Bill /Richard,
Thanks for commenting.
I was very pleased with this scene and noticed it every day when I looked out the window.
Finally I took a few minutes to carefully watch the ever-changing scene and when the shadows were long and distinct and the mix of pedestrians reasonably good, I grabbed this shot.
I think what I like the best about it is a different point of view of a common scene.

It is seeing the pictures in the first place, is what makes the photographer stands out from others in the crowd.

Thanks John and Ted for commenting.

Canal Street it is, taken from suite 1902 in the Marriott.

Robert, just my two cents worth. I think this is a great photo. My eyes wander all over it. There are many nuances to this photo as well as several 30% crops to be had. That last bit is just my opinion. Just great. This is what photography is about.
Cheers Ole

Thanks Ole.
I appreciate the compliment.
The original was cropped very little as I couldn't see any that I felt improved it so I left it pretty much as you see it here.
