I thought about cropping this one a little tighter to eliminate the shadows of the lights but decided not to.

@Anna.C: Thanks Anna. I have been spending more time on finding a job (I need to figure out what I want to be when I grow up!:). I hope to go into Manhattan this week and take more pictures. Your trip to Amsterdam looked fantastic (especially with your new wide angle lens!). Will catch up soon.

nope, the lamp shadows is the winners on this one, thow i don't like the colored bag as it tends to distract a bit.
