London Reflections...

With seemingly most of London now clad in plate glass shots such as these abound:

Re: London Reflections...

The second is really excellent John but would be inclined to lose the chap and the in your face 20 sign, easier said than done though of course

Re: London Reflections...

2nd image is also my pick. Well done

Re: London Reflections...

Thanks Alan and Tom.

As you say, Alan, the sign and the chap are not simple to clone out.

I did take this one a few seconds later which has a nice balance but lacks the cleaner reflection of the previous shot:

Re: London Reflections...

another fine set John - I see what the guys mean about the sign but I do prefer that one over the second version

Re: London Reflections...

I wonder John, if you could use the left side of the second shot and overlay that onto the first?

Re: London Reflections...

John, as you say there are some very interesting images available in reflections. The alternative street scene is much cleaner and is more symmetrical, so I should prefer it, but the 'non-reflecting' bits of the facade are more prominent, so I prefer the first version.

Re: London Reflections...

Prefer the first 2 John you could probably clone out the bloke in the 2nd but the sign would be difficult, still good as it is though!

Re: London Reflections...

Thanks folks

I did attempt combining the best of the two images and got close but I was never going to be happy while the join was still visible - maybe I'll use it as a PS exercise.

Re: London Reflections...

John, I liked your first set and esp the second one with the 20MPH sign and the gent on the right hand side. The image was more real. The edited one looks too bare and empty.

Re: London Reflections...

An interesting set, I like the second of the first pair and the third one is good too.

Re: London Reflections...

Thanks Nat and Andy

I tend to agree that the splash of red gives a dynamic boost (which is why I included it )

BTW the third one was a straight shot - I may sometime have a proper go at combining parts of the two but first results only served to remind I have a lot of learning top do!

Cheers,
John
