farnz Posted January 23, 2007 Share #1  Posted January 23, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ancient and Modern  This is a view of St Paul's Cathedral and the underside of the Millennium Bridge. The contrast of ancient and modern architecture appeals to me in this instance. Regrettably the tone and texture of the image have suffered slightly during conversion for web display, but I hope you can still see what I was trying to achieve with the strong lines.  All comments welcome, and thanks for viewing.  D2, 4 secs @ f5, ISO 100  [ATTACH]22895[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
