St Paul2

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Perfect panie Piotrze!

I like the red accent on this picture!It's very interesting because of the contrast!

Rating this one is tough... At first, I was put off by "messy" composition, because there is so much going on inside the frame. But when I had a second (and third) look, I noticed the "pattern" in there, the repeating colors - the red&white of the bridge that is repeated by the cranes, the blue of the trucks that corresponds to the sky... Still, I think that it is too hectic; I'd prefer a tighter crop, maybe just the left part of the image (ending with the right edge of the bridge pillar). That would get rid of the green roof, which I find rather distracting, and of the big dome, which IMHO dominates that part of the picture and leads the viewer's eyes away from the left part of the frame.

Come on, Piotr, my office has been just behind St Paul's for the past 5 years, and I have never seen this part of town looking so colourful. Have you increased the colour saturation in Photoshop? The sky also looks too blue to me. I still like the result though..just curious about whether this has been heavily processed.

It may be much more then just tweaking saturation in PS. A righ day and the time, the polarizer, most importantly Fuji Sensia 100 scanned with " COLOR MATCH" on CanoScan 4000, Levels and saturation in PS. So you were absolutely right I have used PS to achive the final effect, as one of many important tools. Hope that you like the final image. Regards PK.

Please Publish another photo when it is all done from the exact spot, and almost the exact weather. And when it is all done...send ALL of those projects to my Community! I have never seen so many cranes working together, or scaffolding. I trust the dome will be a perfect green when this is all done? Simply put, a beautiful photo!

This is neat! Were they trying to do patriotic construction, or what? :-)
