Take a look at IRS rules. It could save you an uncomfortable headache down the line.
Is Volunteer Work for a Church Tax Deductible? Like with volunteer work for a charity organization, you can write off expenses incurred that are related to volunteer work for a church, but not for the actual volunteer time.

No deduction for value of volunteered time is correct. And (believe it or not) no deduction for the value of volunteer time makes sense. The value of one's donated time is not included in income. Therefore, deducting the value would give the taxpayer a double benefit. Saying it another way -- a consistent approach would be including the value of volunteer time in income and then deducting the same amount as a donation.

Yes, nice reflections. Also subtle clouds and reeds help make a wonderful shot.

It's not the best place to go walking alone at night. When I was a little kid, my mother was more than nervous about having to walk through a section of the park with me at night. I don't mean she was afraid of me, of course. 
Central Park is definitely not a place one should walk in after dark. The Conservatory Garden, which can be entered directly from Fifth Avenue, is (I am pretty sure) closed at night. In any event, I would not want to be there after dark.

Lovely photo. I wouldn't crop anything. I'd want the landscaping color toned back a bit so that the viewer could better see the statue.
Thanks for the suggestions. Now it is a one-to-one tie on cropping out the tree branches. And toning down the landscape color is also something I will experiment with. I expect to spend some time this weekend on the photo.

I’ve loved the Park since I was a kid and when I worked in the area I spent many lunch hours strolling thru the Park. Did you have to wait long to get the shot “people free”?
I was basically hanging around, looking for good shots. Not hard to find a time when a particular shot was people free. It was a late weekday morning. On weekends there will always be a lot of people.
