Nice - I like #3 & 4, the others were a bit too obscured by trees (for my taste anyway).

Great bridge images

Composition needs some work but then again, these may be the best angles from that vantage point.

I've heard stories that cops in general are very strict in NYC.. especially if you have a big black DSLR.. did you get hassled?

This particular road is public access going to a string of river front parks. It's pretty quiet most times of the year. It's also a popular place to take pictures, as I saw a couple other people with their gear in the area. You can get to within 50ft. of the actual bridge from a service road running parallel to the one these shots were taken from. There's a public boat launch there and a security booth. I didn't even realize there was a security booth with someone in it until the person I was with noticed it. It was pretty covert, actually, and the person working in it just waved and kept an eye on me.

Thanks for the feedback.
