Re: River Thames, Milenium Bridge, St Pauls

Excellent composition! At first I thought it was two pictures vertically stacked, and when I realised what I was looking at, I had an even higher regard for the composition. The upper part has a Matrix vibe to it, whereas the lower part is arguably more Jason Bourne.

Amusingly, the figures on the bridge look as if they've had some Matrix-like digital treatment, but it turns out that the horizontal lines overlaying them are actually lines of text on the glass, and that text is very nearly readable, too. So some credit must also go to the gear as well.

All in all, very nice indeed! Sorry if there's not much criticism here, though.

I like the idea and elements a lot but somehow they don't fuse.  For example the bridge support doesn't quite line up with the dome, the line of the railing is positioned so it interferes with the detail on the dome and the people on the stairs don't fit into their framing.

It makes me want to take a camera there and explore your idea, so kudos for creative inspiration.

Thanks, for your comment, I think its a good example of what m3/4 can do even with a old camera :). even if I had been using Full Frame I don't think it would be a better Image.

Hi

I also think that the position of the people could be different maybe if the man was more on right.
