[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the Tower Bridge taken in early evening. The sunset was behind me and the last rays lit the tower nicely.
Tower Bridge is a bascule bridge in London, England over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London and is sometimes mistakenly called London Bridge, which is the next bridge upstream. The bridge is owned and maintained by Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the Corporation of London. (Wikipedia)

Hi Asa!!
Fantastic shot......good light and perspective.

Greetings.

Hi Asa

Very good lightning, sharpness and prespective

Well done

Hi Asa,
I like the intensive colours here which make the capture really living. Well positioned POV with a bit right an the bridge to avoid a complete frontal impression. You tell us in the note about evening light and this was also my impression. But a summer day and the EXIF time of afternoon confuses me. I assume it is not the right time in the EXIF?
I like the details you got from the tower front.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Asa
Very good daily life scene that i see here, color and POV is very good also,
TFS/Kind regards

Hi Asa,
I like this POV of the bridge giving the impression of one side structure curving up and the other starting to do that and the tower in this case is nicely placed in the center. The pedestrians & tourists give more appeal. Regards. Latiff.

Hi Asa,
The warm light of sunset is just ideal for the scene as it enhances the brick colors of the tower. The people also gives the size dimension of the tower. Well done ... TFS

Renier

Bonjour, Cher Asa,
Voilà une photographie qui sort des sentiers battus. Nous sommes au coeur de ce pont ô combien prestigieux. Le voir de face nous permet de mieux en apprécier son architecture.
Excellent cadrage choisi avec beaucoup de soin.
Amitiés.

Hello Asa,
This work is more than a simple photo, it is very useful to study more the architectur of the Bridge. Your photo is well realized.
Cordially

Hello Asa. Tis is a successful summer evening shot, full of atmosphere. It's well composed, too, with the bridge support structure looming over the camera on the right of the picture. I like the way you've captured the hand-holding couple in the vertical middle of the shot. Nice evening light on the bridge tower.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Asa,

Very good composition with amazing light and sharpness of this mythical place. Thanks for shearing.

Your details are quite remarkable!
I love the use of the bridge suspension cables as a framing device: makes for a grand composition

Olá Asa!
Bonita foto, bem imponente essa torre! Gostei do POV e desse cabo de aço no lado esquerdo!
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hi Asa
Very nice shot!Very good composition And good POV,well done
TFS/Regards

Hello Asa,
Nice shot of the tower bridge. I have been there and it is not as easy as I thought to get a good photo of this world famous bridge. If either of us are ever in London again, we should try some twilight shots of this landmark. Good Job! Thanks for your comments about my "Polynesian Dancers" photo.

I´ve seen so many pictures from this beautiful tower, but this is the first that shows it like daily life, including the people walking, etc. Very original, at least for me. I like it so much!

J'aime beaucoup cette vue du pont, et les couleurs sont peut etre un peu trop contrastés mais elles mettent bien en valeur le batiment.

Hi Asa,
Very appealing head on capture of this London icon that renders gret depth. The colors are very clear and the details exceptionally sharp. The casual demeanor of the pedestrians is a very appeal aspect of this fine image.
Regards, Tom
