About the Image(s)
Got to cross off ‘visit the Morgan Library’ off my bucket list. I’m a book lover and I think this photo might capture it.
I played around with some adjustments in the iPhone photo app. Nothing major. Pretty much straight out of camera.

Such a cozy scene, Sue, and you did an excellent job of presenting it. The position of the large book is perfect, and the other smaller ones behind and off to the side, very nice. The warm colors are so inviting! Posted: 01/01/2025 23:46:03
Thanks. It is such an amazing space! Posted: 01/02/2025 01:52:59
I've spent most of my life in/around NYC - and never heard of this place. It looks amazing - right out of Harry Potter! I hope to have a chance to visit/photograph there this year. Your image is beautiful/warm/inviting. So much to wander around and enjoy. I found the enclosure protecting the foreground book distracting - so tried removing it with Ps AI. I also brightened to book. Posted: 01/03/2025 10:19:46
Thanks. I like it without the glass case!
You should definitely look into visiting this beautiful space. Posted: 01/07/2025 20:47:14

Hi Susan,
You have captured a nice scene of the Morgan library. The lighting is well lit and beautiful with all indoor details. The angle of your shot that includes a big open book in a large glass case draws the viewer's attention to the scene.
I'd prefer leave the glass case as it is since it is preserved that way for public display. Well done! Posted: 01/07/2025 19:41:27

Thanks. I wish I'd had more time to play around in the different rooms, but had tickets to the Rockettes. Posted: 01/07/2025 20:48:38

Susan, this is a breath taking image! Wonder how many books this library holds. What Steven did with Ps AI is nice, but I think your picture is the one which would be expected to see in this setting. Posted: 01/14/2025 16:21:25
