If I could critique one more thing about the image, it looks like the wheel is about to fall over to the left. It looks like it would be hard to level because the wheel and the building on the right are leaning to the left but the light post to the left of the wheel are leaning to the right.

Shoot the free stuff, marathons, bike races, street vendors/performers, etc.

Oh - agreed - I could straighten it but I took so many that day that once I had played with B&W I had run out of steam. That said, I'll put up my favourite - and this one really is from an angle you don't see very often.

There is bridge across the Thames where you can get this shot - so I took full advantage.

Need to crop it etc. but you get the general idea.

I like this one more than the first. I wouldn't crop much, maybe just some of the water at the bottom. The sun and Big Ben ("Look kids, Big Ben, Parliament!" quote from movie) help make the image. I love the gold tone of the image. This could go in the opposite thread, old/new

Yeah - I thought I would lose some of the water at the bottom, which would complete it.

Off to sleep now (that it has all gone quiet elsewhere in the house

).
