Chimneys Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

An office building on the river Themes bank. I took the picture from the other side of the river, otherwise I couldn't catch the whole building without any interruption.
I kept the red double decker for the color.

This would look great in b&w. I may try a ws.

An excellent one IMO. Excellent in its simplicity, the monotony of the lines are broken by the red bus. Perfect crop, perfect geometry without distortion. Fine work Yitzhak.

Hi Yitzak. Typical yours. Good architect picture. I agree with Chris. Black and white would be nice to. The bus is a good detail.

The doubledecker instantly turns this into a signature London scene. Not only is the red color really cool, but it also adds an element that intrudes with the regularity of the building's pattern in a fun way. About the WS I thought the bus needs to remain red by all means, but I saw that's exactly what you responded already ;-) Very good one, Yitzhak.

Good architecture photo Yitzhak, with the double decker as detail.

J'aime ce clin d'oeil à la géométrie, la mise en forme de vos photos et la couleur !
Encore une réussite Yitzhak.

Great symmetry here Yitzhak, and would have been good enough even without the bus -- but it is a bonus & does liven the photo up. I'm always pleased to see when people still make photos out of a cloudy UK day; I just give up & wait for the sun to shine, but as you prove here you can take a good photo regardless of weather. Smart work!

I love the symmetry of this Yitzhak, and how British it is! The red but is a nice, unexpected touch. Great photo.

Beautiful picture, great composition, the red bus is great to the frame, I think that a little work on the contrast will improve the picture, I am sending WS.

As a matter of fact I find the top deck of the bus quite humourous, like if it was trying to be seen in your photo (like those guys when the tv films something)... :-)

Besides that this option eliminated the probably busy ground that could be distracting.

Also like how details like the bus, the left chimneys and the trees brake the simetry of the building addind much interest to the composition. Excelent colors.

Interesting symetrical shot, Yitzhak. Red double decker is good detail. I like the roof perspective too. Good work.

I tried make square WS.
