Such an ironic perspective of The Big Apple… “DO NOT ENTER” in front of the Melting Pot of the world. The sharp detail in the foreground contrasts beautifully with the soft slightly out of focus view of the city, and metaphorically supports the irony captured in this image. Taken with a Carl Zeiss ultra wide angle 15mm Distagon lens at f/2.8 to create this shallow depth of field effect.
