Ann, I very much enjoyed this image. In my memory of the modern W.S.Park
(circa 2000-2001), it didn't have as many trees, but I realize it might be
deceiving.
I also enjoyed a few other images that you have in that stream, - from
both NYC and Chicago.
Jack, as for the tilt that you mentioned, - I understand why you made the
conclusion that it was an illusion: the elements (railing) in front and
those a bit behind make the lines that are "tilted" in opposite
directions. It took me a couple of minutes of careful thinking to
determine the tilt unambiguously. The real tilt is even somewhat
larger than what the front elements might suggest. (So that in the
untilted photo, the front railing would have its left end slightly
"above" the right end. The culprit is the second row of the railings
that compensates the effect of the tilt.
The way you can really judge the tilt is by looking at the trees far in
the back in the middle of the photo. A somewhat conservative estimate
gives me about 2.2 degrees CCW tilt from the horizon.
Best regards,
Igor

Very nice light and composition, ann!
I'm ignoring the "illusion" of a right to left tilt.

Digging through some old files for a project - This was scanned from a
5x7 print made back then by Modernage. I didn't start doing my own
printing or developing until years later (was afraid I'd mess up)
I did carefully record a lot of data then, though - and on the back
of this photo I wrote taken with a Futura S rangefinder camera.(!)
