whoa. I can sniff the NYC spring-time air from here. I can feel the great warming air and the chilly wind from the shadows. I can hear the quietness that comes a step away from the hubbub.
Many thanks

Nice compact shot, if not just a tad tight on the top. I’m assuming perspective correction in PS?
The stereotype would have the woman sitting left of center for completeness, but I like her on the right, giving us a hint of something not captured in the picture.

Robert Langdon noticed the glass spheres ahead. His trail across America had led him to the New York Public Library, ever closer to solving the mystery of the Red Indian poem he had unearthed 24 hours earlier. If he failed to discover the secret he needed, the hidden bomb would go off and Washington would be reduced to rubble in a few hours. Only he could stop it.
The stone lion outside the library had been one of a series of clues that led him here. But where was the next clue he needed to follow the ancient trail?
Think! Then it hit him like a bullet from a .45. Of course! The glass spheres! Three identical spheres hung like curious globes in the arched entrances to the library, reflecting in the glass above the doors. Langdon thought back on the exact line of the poem that now matched his thoughts:
Three clear worlds belong where six figures look down.
The secret had to lie in the library.
