This picture is one of my reasons that I want to visit London again, to re-shoot this picture, it was underexposed and I tried to fix it by PhotoShop, adding more contrast. I love the curves of the building, wish that I stayed till night to have a mirror of the curves by the light tails of the passing cars, with a long exposure.
Thank you Aurore, and I do appreciate your feed back.. this why I'm posting my photos here. to learn...and I will try to do what you said... and I will post the image as it came from the lab as well soon, to compare, or to add more value input... a
OOOH, very nice composition, really grabbed my attention. But the sky is way over-PSed. Doesn't look natural and that takes away from the photo. Do you have a darkroom? I don't do color myself, but if you do, I would suggest dodging the building when exposing, or burning the sky. Probably have to add some extra contrast on the building if the neg is dense in this area. If you can't do color darkroom work, I would suggest getting some panalure paper and trying it in B&W (the burning and dodging). I think you would get much better results in the darkroom for what you want to do, and no I'm not biased, I use both tools equally. I have found, though, that for burning and dodging nothing beats the darkroom. And this would likely look just as good in B&W as in color. Also, if it means enough to you, and you don't have any sort of darkroom, you could always bring it to a pro lab that does darkroom enlargements and consult them about it. I think it is a great image, though, and would be spectacular if the suggestions I made are plausible and were carried out. : ) Aurore
