Valentine's Day, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

A fairly typical shot from the Millenium Wheel of Parliment with Westminster Abbey just behind it, yet special for me because I had proposed to my fiancee 5 minutes before. I didnt pick up much color because of the haze so I went B&W, brightness -10, contrast +15.

Nice atmospheric shot, black and white suits it, though it could possibly benefit from a touch of sharpening. Nice personal story to, best of luck to the both of you.

Great photograph, great feel. Drop the contrast a few points to increase that gray day feel?

Although you would loose the Battersea Power Station, I might be tempted to crop the sky out too.

(Congratulations.)

Nice and unusual view of the house of parliament. I like the atmosphere too.

the kind of shot every tourist takes...however, this one has something different...perhaps the black and white, which suits this part of London and time of day rather perfectly! the fog, or smog also adds to this beautiful photo...
good work!
cheers
