biglouis Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted June 24, 2007 A couple of crackers there, Louis. It's almost as if you'd placed the beer glasses there deliberately Guys, once again, thanks for the encouragement - it really helps me develop as a photographer. Andy, good point. In fact I didn't pose the glasses and it leads me to critically appraise a missed opportunity. If I had really thought about it I would have posed the glasses to mirror the skyline. I think that intuitively realising there was a picture worth taking but failing to exploit the positioning is what distinguishes my efforts from that of a professional.

andybarton Posted June 24, 2007 Share #8 Posted June 24, 2007 Nothing amateur about what you've done here, though. This is a well taken shot of a happy happenstance. You might have had to order a different round next time, just to get glasses to match the skyline Definitely a champagne flute to cover One Canada Square...

steve kessel Posted June 26, 2007 Share #17 Posted June 26, 2007 Louis Very effective and intriguing dual composition with lots of correspondences between lower and upper (eg tall shapes, horizontal ground/liquid) and inversions (solid buildings: liquid in glasses). Also unusual light set off by complementarity of metallic blue river, table, sky and "amber nectar". But you knew all that. Great stuff.
