Check out this spectacular image focusing on the Mandarin Oriental hotel, located at 80 Columbus Circle in New York City, showing Central Park in all its perfect early October sunset glory. Isn’t it too exquisite to be just a photograph? Perhaps. Maybe it’s a 3D rendering—I can see stuff that makes me think of that. Could it be a really meticulous painting? I can see the hint of brushstrokes here and there. Or a Photoshop… or maybe it’s all of the above.
