Post processing - Crop, Saturation, and Sharpens. Obviously Mono conversion for first pic.

C&C are welcomed notworthy.gif

the mono conversion looks good. but lacks impact, and too much empty foreground. reducing it to a panoramic landscape placing the building center IMHO would make it look more balanced.

with all due respect, i tried playing with the pic. something i had in mind.

p/s: i also leveled the horizon - taking reference to the flag pole on top of the building left.

thanks lwliam for the attempt, the end photo certainly has more impact in it and definitely more of a paranomic feel.

My original thought was to use some sort of leading line, however it clearly failed. With regards to the impact, I'm a little too concerned about losing details with the heavy dodge & burn. Nonetheless, breaking the usual photographic rules do yield some surprises at times.

I'm yet to learn how to dodge selectively sweat.gif

Will upload a few more later.

London is a difficult place to capture, when I'm trying too hard to avoid including the tourists in it !! doh.gif
