Thanks very much George. (y) There's another famous master of street photography called 'Fan Ho' from China that I took inspiration from for this photo. His work in the 1950s is all about black and white, lots of light pouring in and shadows. Definitely worth looking at his work. :)

I'm already very familiar with his work Lee, and I've even got a book about him somewhere.

Just a simple tourist type Snapograph taken at London UK of the Houses Of Parliament & Elizabeth Tower (covered up) with a couple of Thames river boats/buses passing by. Actually snapped in May 2019 but never used.

Lee, what a coincidence, for the first time ever I have just been looking at a video about "Fan Ho" and would you believe it this is the anniversary (June 19) of his death in 2016. Strange almost a spooky feeling.

Hi George. Wow, yes that is a coincidence! Spooky indeed :)
 
Obviously this snap was shot a time or two back but never used. It was taken when only the lower part of the tower was covered for renovation.
Just a simple tourist type Snapograph taken at London UK of the top end of the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben).
I've done a bit of juggling about with the processing to give a high contrast mono presentation and a slightly different approach to that which is normally presented of this very familiar attraction.

(y) Amazing photo, George. So sharp and detailed it could almost be computer graphics. Very unique processing.

I really must start reading the descriptions before perusing the image - I was thinking, 'that's one hell of a skillful piece of cloning out to remove all the scaffolding and tarpaulins!':oops: :$;)
