landward

Maybe because the river Thames was low and appeared muddy or maybe because artists on this site have taught me a greater appreciation for the sky as a compositional element, I found myself focusing more on the bridge and sky and not the Thames. Here, I realized upon processing, I have emphasized a landward side of the bridge not commonly made a primary focus of images

Most impressive painting! I dare say that I would have avoided the house on the right, not the church, only the house because I don't think it belongs here aesthetically and architecturally! Cheers to that! PDE

Thanks, Pierre. I agree with your consummate aesthetics. But I needed the space to the right. I may try to clone-out/fill the more modern building to the right. (That church like building to the right has a life of its own. I may post its image a little later.)

Wayne..Big sky is a fitting complement for the historic structure.Good eye to see the potential and choice final scene.Salutations-Laurent

Wayne, Beautiful creative image with wonderful painting effect. Take care,...............Patsy

Thanks, Laurent. I think you've trained us to look up to the sky for design elements.

another strong painterly image...very dramatic...regards....David

Many thanks, David. The muddy Thames made me focus more on the sky.

Very effective edit Wayne - you always do beautiful work!

Many thanks, Gail. Good to see you back on the site.

excellent

Many thanks, Mehmet.

Interesting as always your point of view for a subject and way you work it.

Thanks, Radu. I very much appreciate your support.

Great scene, nicely composed.

Nice artistic interpretation of the Tower, great pov.

Thanks, Chris. I don't travel much so when I do I am like a kid in a candy store and even clouds seem miraculous.

Another masterpiece. Congrats.

powerful image...I like the 3 dimensional-ness of the clouds...nice work...regards....David

Thanks, David. The cloud demanded that I give it attention.

Many thanks, Tony. Just now seeing this. Really miss your creative masterpieces.

What a magnificent technique you have managed to perfect. The enhancement of a "pure" photograph processed through your "old", so to say XIX printing machine, yields an amazing and stunning effect. You have, IMHO managed to produce an in-between technique. It renders such a special effect that mesmerizes and captivates, keeping the viewer wondering....but mostly, enjoying such definition and colorful images. Quite unique. Congratulations. DG

I am most appreciative, Daniel. Encouragement just when I am questioning whether I am producing anything worthy of posting.

The composition is perfect IMHO. My eye is really pleased to look through the image details.

Thanks, Evgeny. It is very encouraging to receive kind comments from talented artists.
