Had a great trip in London. Whilst the missus went shopping on our last day, I walked around with the nifty fifty on, AV 2.8.

What do you think?

well, I'm a sucker for English Urban so I like it. But, it's a little busy, which I guess you knew and wanted. My only real wish is that the girls face was not obscured by the street sign post. But, if I took it, I would be really happy with it.

I like the different angles created by the signs and the tilted building.
It gives the shot an angular look. And the photo of the woman in the
window adds a nice touch.

I only wish you had used a higher f-stop like f8 so that you would have
more depth of field, and everything would be in sharp focus. The first
thing that caught my eye was the soft focus of the Oxford Circus sign.
It was a little distracting because this sign is so large and conspicuous.

Thanks folks. I take all comments on board.

Zippy-I know what you mean, but I wanted to draw the attention to the underground sign but yet let people know where it was taken without keeping everything sharp.

You have some great shots in the London album. I'll be going there in the summer so I can't wait to take some photos. I'm amazed by the amount of viewers for the changing of the guards!
