Beautiful landscape.

Kind regards...

Hi Nick, the scenic portion of the image, the water, the cliffs, etc., I really like. It's beautiful. The upper right corner being so washed out is a bit bothersome for me because it's taking its toll on the subject "bridge".

I wonder if a graduated ND filter could have been used effectively here? I have almost no experience with them but I'm thinking that if you used a graduated ND at an angle you may get better balance? Just thinking out loud at this point.

By the way, the last time I saw it London Bridge was in Lake Havasu, Arizona ... LOL!

This shot is incredibly beautiful. The shoreline

sends your eye to the bridge. And then your eye follows accross the photo. However, the bright sky on the right is a problem. It is so bright your eye cannot ignore it. I'm sure there is a PS techie out there with some suggestions.

I don't usually hold with this sort of thing, but I have had an attempt at improving what I agree is a distracting, burnt out sky. Anyone better than me at this sort of thing is welcome to have a go!

Thanks for all the positive comments (despite the short-commings).

Regards, Nick.

Nicholas I have to agree with the others about the sky on the right side, But I do think you did a good job of fixing it with the second picture above. Overall its a very good picture otherwise. If I was a P.S. wiz I would give it a try for you too but you did good. Take care.

Hi Nick, I like the original frame - very good composition and superb colours. I can feel the warmth here in London.

I suggest the best way to tackle the sky here is to use the origina sky but stretch it so that the burnt out bit disappears to the right. This way the colours look reasonably natural. I did it quickly so you can see the join at the horizon. Obviously needs a bit more work...

Thanks Colin, yours is a better solution than that which I tried - I copied the image, flipped it and superimposed the two! Your version is much more subtle (despite it's hurried nature), and looks less "photoshoppy".

Thanks Dave for your kind words.

Fond regards, Nick.
