Ok, I thought while I was on a roll I'd post a few more shots that I've sifted out of the mess which is my holiday photos. Here is another selection of images from London I hope you enjoy them.

First shot is a cool building that I believe is part of the government, and is all glass to show that government should be transparent or some such rubbish. I loved the moody cloud and how it played on the glass, and also thought the pipe and concrete set the image off.

Image

The second image I'm not sure if I've done it justice yet, but I liked it, an artist had installed all these figures on the top of most the the buildings in a fairly big radius, so you can stand there and have the feeling your being watched from above at all angles. It was rather unsettling, but I really liked them.
Image

A line of trees in St James Park, with a single lone figure walking away. I snapped this quickly while rushing to our next stop after seeing the changing of the guard.

Image

Interesting faces, these three were having their photo taken infront of St Stephen's Tower (Big Ben) and I joined in for the fun and snapped a few shots myself. They appeared to be really interesting characters and I regret not taking the time to stop them for a chat. I've tried something that isn't my usual style on this so I'd be interested on feedback on the processing as well as the content.

Craig, some great photos here - I love the 1st & 2nd, and the last is a great candid. The 1st has excellent composition and lighting whilst the 2nd is a really good, structured photo.

Bindii - I'm pretty sure it was a Hat, but the photo doesn't show it well and the hat did look like it was made from wool or hair, of something living.
