The Monument

The monument was built close to the start point of the Great Fire of

London 1666. A scanned slide. Constructive critisism is welcome

Nice composition!

Really nice Peter! Caught my eye "inmediatamente"!

outstanding viewpoint, excellently captured, and beautiful tones.

Hello Peter.

 

This is a grand spiral, and you have captured it well. I particularily like the strong (yet well controlled) light, comming in from the bottom left corner, for me this makes the picture, and prevents it being a mere architectural abstract!

 

Fantastic.

 

Regards, Nick.

I agree with the comments above, your image is captivating.

 

I must admit I have tried in vain to capture what you have achieved in doing. Mine in comparison seems untidy and ugly.

 

I am jealous, when I pressed the sutter release I wanted what you achieved.

Eamon, yours is a great shot. I had real doubts about posting this one having seen yours.

Well, I like them both actually. Peters version is more, maritime and sort of mystical, while Eamon's feels more historic, naturalistic, and monumental, if that makes any sense at all. The two of you seem to have differing white balances. I appreciate having gotten to compare these two images of the same grand spiral.

Very nice composition and lighting.

Excelent Image with so nice dark shadows - colors and symemtry. I loved this "rusty green" color.

 

Bravo Peter.

 

Greetings from Greece !

I think from the differing reflectivenesses they must have painted between Eamon's picture and Peter's picture but that seems like an enormous amount of work. Strange that the pictures are so very different. I enjoyed looking at them both again and comparing.

Not as cubist as my staircase, but a lot more eye catching ! q;-)

Great work !

Simple but effective!

I love the shot and I love the colours.

Extremely well executed (can only imagine trying to hang over the edge, and get this sharp and well exposed... or even rig the tripod to do it...) perfect results though. As with many of my shots, "many times done". However, as NOT with many of my shots, "very WELL done!" :-)
