<p>Why?</p>

<p>Nice image, Frederick, it is certainly atmospheric.</p>

<p>I have taken very similar ones to yours in Senlis, Blaye, Lucca and Paris, but I find that the high contrast and obscuring of details works against the divulging of the nature of the space photographed, whether it is details of the buildings, the signs or other descriptors hidden in such a high contrast image. I think it would be good to add a more detail in your subject, perhaps using a tripod and an HDR technique ti expand the range and to avoid overblowing the highlights.</p>

<p>It's lacking in life: no people or action, which rather gives the impression it was taken at 3:00 am or thereabouts. Maybe that is the point?</p>

<p>Eddie - I like the Banksy!</p>

<p>Very fine photo Frederick. It has an atmosphere of its own that does not require people. We all have our own tastes and that picture suits mine.</p>

<p>I agree that it is atmospheric and realistic. And I like the Banksy shot, too.</p>

[frederick_muller]

<p>That's what London is like ... a million people come in to work during the day and once the pubs close it's a 15th century ghost town.</p><div></div>

<p>Frederick are you referring to the City of London i.e. the "Square Mile"? I agree with you if you are, although investment bank personnel are always working. If you say the "city of London" as you did then it means the West End, and the City of Westminster, Borough Kensington and Chelsea and all the rest of what most of us think of as "London". These are not quiet after dark. The City of London is a outwardly a much more impressive conglomeration of financial institutions than Wall St.</p>

<p>Have they finished the construction up by the top of the lane? There's a decent Italian restaurant there that I wasn't able to get to a couple of months ago, because of all the scaffolding.</p>
