    A 'Challenging' View From The Shard

    Well, as noted in my previous thread preparing to visit the Shard, we went on Saturday - a day of snow and grey miserable clouds in London. The Shard itself was magnificent however, well worth the visit and everything very well organised. Except that one of the two viewing decks was out of action for health and safety reasons, which was a tad annoying. Anyway, here's my selection of images. You'll note the distinct lack of views, but my first ever stitched panorama.
    Thoughts/comments?

    Cor - I think you have done extremely well in challenging weather conditions

                Hi Alex

                Seriously good set in very difficult conditions. Love some of the angles you found, and the compositions are great.

                The silhouette is great, but I really like #2 too! Very unusual... you have to look twice to get what the shot is. Just goes to show, you may have a certain expectation of what you'll get out of it, but until you actually get there and shoot away, you'll never really know!

                Well done. All the best, Mike.
