Traitors Gate Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another advantage of 22 years army service (see my previous post for explanation) before one becomes the Yeoman is the ability to command and shout at the people. On a Good Friday thousands of Londoners and foreigners visited London Tower. An average size of the group of guided people was 100. A small red figure left bottom is the Yeoman explaining the story of The Traitors Gate. The Tower Bridge provides a nice background to the scene.

From all 250 shots I brought from my short trip to England, this one is my favourite for its unusual composition and colors.

There will be a breake in my posting now and I will bring you more photos after 8th May. This time from Boston, MA

I like the concept of your photo ... tower bridge in the background ... and so many poeple over here on the ground ... oblivious of the Tower bridge right now ... i like the way your photo seems to be made of of so many different layers depecting different moods and stuff

The perspective is very nice. All the details can be appreciated and the light is quite good as well. I like the bridge on the brackgorund, it's like a reference of the city. The cloudy sky helps making some contrast.

Good job!

A very good capture, Marek. I have passed by and photographed The Gate once or twice, but this is a unique perspective. Good contrasting tones as well. Regards.
