Thanks Buschmaster! There wasn't much space to take the picture of the entire arch even at 18mm as trees were in my way. I couldn't take it on the other side of the arch either, otherwise I'd be standing in the middle of 5th Avenue.

Awesome shot, Im from KY but travel to NYC on business, the International Toy Building is right there with the Flatiron building. (well it was till they sold last year to build lux. condos) There is a little Italian bistro to the left of about where you would have been standing. Its called Manga, and I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the nice comment Abraxsis! I will be sure to look into Manga the next time I'm down around the Flatiron.

Stunning shot!

Colours really make this shot but the DOF is perfect, did this take a few tries?
Would be proud if i was you :)

I actually took this shot holding a cheap macro lense made for an old kodak of all things up to my canon G5. I snaped 2 shots and that was the best one. I was being devoured by masquitoes and had to move lol.

The slug was less then a half inch in length tiny thing.
