MG_8161

This was shot a few weeks ago, after the Thames festival.

We spent quite a bit of time debating what was causing the shadow on the houses of Parliament. It took us a while to realise that it was a separate tower; something that none of us had seen before from that particular viewpoint.

A new point of view, nicely done! (Coincidently, I've posted a picture of Westminster by night an hour ago as well! "http://www.verbeeld.be/2005-10-14/") Kind regards, Jan.

Like the warm colours and the light is just beautiful!

Heyyy - someone forgot to turn the lights on the tower! lol Very sharp and colourful shot shot Stuart. I always manage to blow out big ben when shooting nightscapes - youve done well to control it here.

Great shot Stuart- for some reason all my attempts came out blurred! Nice balance of detail on the tower and the clockface- always a tricky subject at night. Chris- be careful with idle talk about 'blowing out big ben'- could be misconstrued either as another Guy Fawkes attempt, or as a bit of a 'Carry on' (ooer missus)!

Very nicely captured. The lights look perfect!

I agree, city-lights are great and so is the feeling of the picture.

Creative composition. Using the telephoto to compress the perspective makes it denser and more impactful.

I quite like how much you have managed to fit into the scene. Definitely not the normal viewpoint.

Amazing photo. The colors and sharpness of the details are great.

This is another excellant nightshot with perfect exposure and nice colour saturation.

Nice perspective and the colours stand out well.
