Hint of Spring
Just a little hint of color in this otherwise monotone photo suggests that spring is just around the corner!
The iconic Flatiron Building hidden behind the curvy, still barren tree, is what really stands out for me. Of course the forsythia in bloom is a welcome sight.
What a beautiful Iconic New York shot! Love seeing the Flatiron through the tangle of pre-spring branches (and the little pop of yellow suggesting what’s to come). Fab!
The muted colors of sky and landscape frame the delicate yellow blossoms promising warmer sunnier days to come. Beautiful evocation of early spring
The forsythia had always been the first sign of spring for me. I no longer live in New York so I no longer get to see them. It appears as though the trees in the background also have yellow buds. The the flowers and buds must be a welcome sight for New York after such a cold and damp winter. The iconic Flatiron building is also nicely included in the scenery. Wonderful photo.
I love the geometry and levels of composition in this photograph, Ellen! The foreground of linear metal fencing and benches , the hint of spring color and wandering tree branches, all towered over by the Flatiron building’s triangular form. Well done!

Thank you for this lovely image, which reminds us of hope, renewal, and beauty. We probably all can use some hope!
Indeed Jacqueline. Hope springs eternal!
The dull browns, blacks and grays of winter are giving way to the lively yellow and green of spring. What a welcome sight. What makes this spring scene extra special is the way you’ve framed the iconic Flatiron building presiding over the change of season. You’ve contrasted the straight lines of the city, created by human hands, with the sinuous, organic forms of Mother Nature’s living creations. The resulting dynamic tension between the two forces our eyes to flit from one element to another echoing the movements of the first robin we yearn to see.
