I took these shots a couple of days ago.Although not what i was orginially intending to take but they could have potential for the challenge. So what do you think ?

I missed a couple of cracking shots today on the way from work as I didnt have the cam with me - the best was when an old Ford Mustang in what looked like original light blue paint work stopped at the traffic lights.

    Hey there, the b/w photo with the whtie border is something worth submitting. I like the way the two people walking are in full silohuette but the guard isnt. I was going to say to crop it, but I realized it really doesnt need any cropping. It reminds me of visiting landmarks late in the afternoon, very memorable. Def send that one in, good luck!

    Thanks for the input. I'm going to try and see if I can get the other subject on the weekend and will decide after that.

    I like #2 better. It's a very nice composition. The only thing I wish you could have gotten was the complete arch of the gate to complete the framing element.

    Hi Erich

    Thanks for pointing out that the top of arch being missing and i can see how it seems to take away something from the shot. However, with the weather being as bad as it is in London I'm not sure if I'll have the chance to retake the shot or to take my other idea. If the sun breaks out I will attempt it again.

    Brig, thanks for the comment on the 1st pic. Just wishing I had him centered.

    Cheers

    I bet you could make him "look" centered with "perspective" in photoshop or GIMP.....somebody just pointed that out to me this week........
