I like the post processing on the last shot, I like it alot actually. The white sky is a bit much for me though. The perspective on the second shot is also really interesting and I rather like it. The first shot doesn't do much for me though.

What did you do post processing wise on the third shot to get that effect?

Great captures. I would like the man at the first pic to be more visible - he adds scale and impact to the pic. The third is very nicely done, it accentuates the dreary weather.

bottom, i took a few shots about 3 or so on this image i wish he was more visible but the problem was it was more just a TV snap shot with out a tripod so it was hard that day to get motion in my pictures what was upsetting.

What did you do post processing wise on the third shot to get that effect?

the effect what i used was dodge on the outer image, played with the colour blance/contrast for awhile and selected areas certain areas on there own and brought up or brought down the colour. and a few touches of blur on the image. Such as the black cab.

Im liking your second pic a lot.

London is a great spot for takings pics. I was there over the weekend and was very snap happy myself.

Dear Tlee:
No.3 is nicely coloured, perspective-d, framed and populated with fine objects. One suggested consideration: the bus and the Tower....one could experiment with their different reciprocal placement.

Incidentally, given the image softness, was that image shot with an EF 24-70L f2.8 USM aka "The Brick" ?

[Tlee05]

thanks again.. I will try loads of different reciprocal placements next time, I was with a group of friends so they was rushing around so i did not have much time on certian landmarks/objects. :(

I soften the image in PS. I dont have many lens only the 18-55 as i only started shoting from 3 weeks a go or so. And im only 18 so im poor.

What i used in the image 3 the bus was a 18-55mm lens
Tv
1/80
iso 100

Well dear Tlee, you are showing all that it is in the hand that holds the tool. And your young hand seems so good.

[Tlee05]

Thanks guys for all your comments, Petkal one day my young hand will be like your's.
