Central London

Hi, these images are from my recent trip to London. Let me know what you think. I have tried to PP them to make them a bit more dramatic.

These are nice images. Overall I really like them and I generally like to push the saturation a bit, but they may be a bit over processed.

However, If you like them, that’s the most important thing.

For this type of picture (well known buildings) I prefer to see them in natural colours.

Thank you Khall. I understand what you mean. Since these are 'well known' locations, images looked boring, just like thousands others. This is why I tried to change them.

Thank you Packhorse-4. I did over saturate them. Especially the Trafalger Square ones to make them look a bit like painting without the painint effect.

I think so too. But great shots.

I think #1 & #2 are super! The PP works well in my opinion and does make them stand out from all the other thousands of shots of the same subjects. #3 is good but it looks on a slant.

Did you use HDR on these? I'd love to know the PP if you don't mind sharing

Thank you Flexipack. I used Lightroom and Photoshop. All the colors and effects are from various settings in photoshop. In photoshop I simply used dodge and burn to highlight certain areas while making others darker. Also, text/border was added in photoshop. No plug-ins we used.

On #3, this is the best I could do. This is a pano from two images. My 17-55 was not wide enough to capture the whole palace in a single shot. Also, it was handheld like other shots.

i like #1 and#2 i think they would make great postcards, like somone else said they standout from the normal boring postcard shot

I really like the PP. Makes them seem more like a drawing postcard.
