This is an image from my trip last year and it has already been posted, but I did a quick edit

i cant remember the original edit, but I really like the movement and the light streaming in. It works for me

Feels like a dream where the background is detailed but the target is hazy.

I dig it this time around as well - the dreamy movement works for me big time.

The sun rays are fake, added in with PS. It would have looked like this if smoking was still permitted in NYC. I remember seeing an old image shot from the same spot with the sun rays coming in from the left. I wanted to recreate the image but there were no sun rays.

Hilarious. Maybe you were watching this Matt Kloskowski tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3brfb3Ta3aA for the inspiration. Still, it's a very nice image.

The Sunday’s are fake, added in with PS.

I think you did a good job. They look great.

Do you have a link to the original edit, or can you include it here so we can see the difference.

Here is the method I used

Thanks for the share. It is effective and natural looking. I will be going home tonight to find an image it may suit and have a try myself

The hardest thing is having a good light source. Like I said earlier, I had all intentions of taking this photo with the light rays, but because the air was so clean, there were none.
