This was taken from the Belvedere Castle in Central Park in NYC. It shows separated gates perched all over central park, which is the biggest park in the world which is located right in the middle of the biggest city in the world creating two separate landscapes.
Editing: Cropped, Contrast raised to bring out the sunlight, Blue sat. raised a notch to bring out the water and I adjusted the color curves to bring out the color in the grass. I then sharpened it.

I like the blue in the water. It is a work of art. scotwilson might be right on the jpeg thing or maybe to much on sharpness. Other then that this is still nice and its defanetly got potential.
I think the artistic aspects of this photo, the subject, composition and framing are very good, on the technical side not so good. I don’t know if it is jpg artifact or something else but the building look very indistinct, sort of a jumbled blur.
Seems over sharpened with software. And, though I'm sure it was a nice vista while you were there, this framing lacks an interesting focal subject. The viewers eye rests on the trees, which aren't that interesting.
Great shot.Love the contrasting color of sky and lake with park and city nestled in. Fits the challenge well. Wish the "art work" would remain until the end of March as my wife and son are going to NYC then. Good luck....
