Trafalgar Square

Perhaps one of the most famous of London's squares, this shot shows the what the square seems to be most famous for - its pigeons (and also the statue of Lord Nelson on his column and also King George IV).

 

I added some toning to this.

 

All comments welcome!

Very well composed, the birds are almost CGI like and spread out evenly, both statutues are well placed.

Well done!

This looks great! There's a real dark element to this photo, kind of mysterious. Nice.

Thimbs up mate!

I have been walking here on daily basis, but rarely would see something like this. I was shooting there a while ago, but never approached this placew from taht spot, well done!

Great composition and execution. The tone makes the photo. My only suggestion would be to try to remove that "lump" just forward of the horse's rear leg. It makes it a appear that either Lord Nelson is riding side saddle or that the horse is excited about something.

A great impact with just blue/greys and silhouttes! I dont know how much PS work you did, but if you did any you did it well -- it's mysterious and moody but it still seems like a photograph as opposed to a manipulation/illustration.

Travis - there's next to no PS work here. It was an overcast day and the sun was behind the statues from where I was stood....one of the few occasions where a centre-weighted camera reading was the correct one to create silhouettes and a moody sky.
