Description

One of my recent visits to London with my camera. I noticed the vivid contrasts between architecture of a few hundred years ago and the buildings of today. Much of the time we are interested in function, buildings like this let light in, are reletively cheap and fast to build. They create a feeling of space. Buildings of 200 years ago were much more decorative, with less room much of the time decorated with ornate stonework.

On the downside of course these new buildings could be considered as characterless and literal. Stark if you will.

Nice angle, perspective and leading line!

I'd suggest to crop from left (that part which has a darker area from the mirrored building). By doing that the "thingy" in the middle will not be... in the middle!

The sky being washed would have been nicer replaced by some magic sky/clouds, but as is I'd suggest you to do the composition in bw.

That would be my 0.02 cents! ;)

Nice to see you post photographs Mr Mod!
Is this a temporary mode or are you here to stay?

Thanks guys, yeah I tried the crop to take the 'modern art' from the middle, unfortunately it killed the perpective so I decided to leave it. The sky kinda goes with the theme.

Thanks for your comments, yeah I'll be posting photos too from now on.

I seem to remember you doing quite a bit of photography here when you started. You should keep doing it as you do it well.
I like the perspective and the contrast. Good work Glenn.

Terrific perspective and an interesting shot in terms of angles, texture and reflection... thanks for sharing, Glenn.

Excellent image - the leading lines and composition of the elements is perfect.
As is the subtlety of the colouring.

Thanks guys,  Umanth I use a Sony cybershot f717. Getting on a bit now in technology terms but still a decent shooter.

Good shot Glenn!
and no, I'm not talking about soccer:p

As mentioned the perspective is excellent.
I really like the desaturated look and the
way you've cropped the image...it's a detail,
but important one nevertheless

Dynamic angle!
I agree with  Cigaro about the fixing the spot on the lower right...the composition is perfect and I tip my hat to you for keeping that left portion stay in the frame :)
Looking forward to your future photographs ;)

I know what you mean with the difference in style for the buildings. This is a nice image! Would have liked some clouds, but what can you do...

Composition is good and the naturally desaturated colors are interesting. I'm not crazy about the object in the middle. Definitely does convey a feeling of barrenness. Nice shot (thumbup)
