I was captivated by these golden 'tulies' that shimmered in the cold autumn sun at Central Park in New York City. These seemingly feather-soft water plants lined the perimeter of Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis Lake. In the background you can see the double-towered El Dorado apartment building. The lake and buildings are great, but the essence of the picture would be lost without the stark contrast of natural soft texture of the tulies, and the rigid dark texture of the fence in the foreground. I literally had to hold up traffic on the walking path for a moment, as I knew I had to have this shot.
