This is London

One of those shots which I had parked until I could find a processing method that I liked. The problem with the Southbank is the River Thames is just so dirty. On a sunny day it becomes a very yellowish brown, certainly not what you want in a colour photo. I was at the top of City Hall on the Open House day last September when I took this. I do have a shot of the bridge in its entirety but what I liked most was the shadows cast from the backlighting.

    this is so cool! I really like the coloring on these last two pictures, they both have so much color, but its really subtle.

    the shadow play is awesome...it looks so dimensional and gives the whole image a special depth.
