| Ben, this is good work as usual :) I think that if you crop about half of the dark area of the bottom, it works nicely also :) |

Greetings from the Critique Club!
To me, it is the repetition of the pointed towers that really makes this photo interesting. Of course, the beautiful sunset-lit clouds help too. I also like the light coming through open areas in the towers. To me the center of interest is the building with all the small towers (parliament?), not the clock tower which, though larger, isn't as interesting in silhouette. From your comments that wasn't your intent, but it doesn't affect the impact or quality of the image. Exposure, focus, and post-processing are all perfect.
One nit: To me, the photo seems slightly tilted to the right. It isn't; Big Ben is perfectly vertical in this image! But the silhouette removes the depth cues that indicate the rooftops are slanted because of perspective, making them seem tilted. A slight counter-clockwise rotation might make the image look straighter. |

| A lot of points in this place, some literal and some figurative. And after a long day in committee we ask, "What IS the point? Lets get a pint!" Sorry couldn't resist. Back to the point - Love this picture. You are right on with the sharp siouettes and that beautiful sky. I might crop just a bit off the bottom. 9 |

| In my humble opinion: the major building itself would have been more dramatic. . . especially with that sky. To me, it is a case where less is more. |
