england The London Eye 04

Thoughts? Have I included too much of the wiring? Not enough of the other parts of the Eye? Should it have been B&W? Not contrasty enough? Any other thoughts?

Any comments or ratings are appreciated!! :-)

Nice to see some London shots from you Lou Ann :o)

 

I think this looks more impressive (powerful) in B/W. Here's another look.

You know, David, I went back and forth about B&W or color for this one. The blue was just so pretty!! But you're right, the B&W is more powerful ... just like in the other Eye shots that I have here. Thanks for the suggestion.

By the way, you do know that I am eventually going to spend an entire summer touring the Michigan coasts!? I have family all over the state (except for the UP or Mackinaw), and have been there several times. It will be a great place to shoot. But ... why am I telling YOU this? :-)

Lou Ann, would agree with David. I like it in B&W better too. Nice series going on here.

Nice shot emphasising the 'bicycle wheel' aspect of the Eye. Just to be confusing I go for the colour version!

An entire summer? I can barely get a 2 weeks off from work (though I'm thankful for that). I can't imagine the photographic possibilities with that kind of time on my hands. I hope you do get the chance to make the trip. Let me know if you need any pointers on where to shoot, but you sound like you know where you're going already...

excellent.congrats.

David - I'm not VERY familiar with Michigan, but have family all over the state, and have been in the Novi area many times, and as far north as Clare and the lakes in that area. I have a cousin in Traverse City, as well. A whole summer would also include lots of family time as well as some fun time at my uncle's cottage on the lake (near Clare). I'd love to see Mackinaw and the UP, too. I'm positive that I could spend more than two months and not even scratch the surface. :-)

Lou Ann, color is good, but in this case I think the b/w makes a statement. Sondra

This reminds me of some of the electrical connections I've seen in other countries....

I agree B&W makes it more powerful! Nice shot, Lou Ann.

Vey good photograph.Best wishes.BoraBenic.

With this many white clouds in the sky, I think the b&w version works better. The colour version I think might have worked better when there would have been less clouds and more blue. But it's definitely an original composition, aiming at the eye of the Eye.
