City Skyline
Iconic City of London skyline. I've upped the contrast here as I think it gives it some 'oomph'. Best viewed large.

Interesting picture of an interesting city. (I´m sorry but I LOVE color, so it's a little hard for me to see the world B&W)(1on1)

The grain makes this look great! Amazing how tall that crane is. I used to walk over that bridge every day on my way to work. That's one ever changing skyline, I'll shut up now!

Okay, viewed large this is stunning, I think you should put a note about that in your description because this size doesn't do the photo justice. I actually don't like the grain but I love the rest of the shot so:

I was just trying to figure out where all that water and boats were in Sheffield (before reading the bottom). I saw the cranes LOL! :D
Great B&W shot!

Ha ha! Yeah, that's what all those cranes are doing in Sheffield - they're building recreations of St. Paul's Cathedral and the The Gherkin alongside the Don. :-D

I like what you've done with this photo. The B&W, contrast and graininess add to the mood, and makes it interesting. It probably would not have been interesting before you worked on it. I guess I'm just not so sure I like the dip of the bridge being so close to the middle. Perhaps I slightly different angel would have pushed it over the top for me. But I still like what you have here.
