 Tower Bridge from the main span. I like the way the cloud halos the tower, I don't like the sensor dust! The undersides of the "lines" were obviously in shadow, which since this was shot near midday made processing tough.

I really like the angled viewpoint. wish the tower had more tonal range but hard to keep the bridge detail at the same time.

An interesting and different approach to one of the Old Ladies of photography; I think you could have pulled a bit more punch out of the image, especially for DPC, with a stronger contrast - which would, i think, have added to the impact of those improbable angles you've found.

I really like this structure, and the photo is brilliant. I also know you probably tilted the shot on purpose, but I personally don't like that. Just my opinion. 8
