An excellent angle, iconoclastic as ever.
There's some weirdness lower left that distracts a bit from the perfection we normally expect, however.
Otherwise, fascinating.

Not sure... the bottom left hand corner appears browner than the rest of the black unlit underside of the structure. I guess it's just not quite as dark as the rest of it. I'm sure it's genuine, it just spoils the abstract slightly.

On my monitor I'm not aware of the slight tone shift bottom left. But the image as whole is great. Everyone knows what St Paul's looks like so once again Paul has met the challenge by coming up with an original view that incorperates the modern architecture of the surrounding area. Excellent.

ChrisA, the tonal value though, is the same as on certain areas of the cathedral, its the same with the streaks on the steel. I'm likin' that.
Thanks, David.

Like it, Pauly! Have seen St Paul's a few times when visiting London, but never from this angle.

Thanks, Dark'.
I would love to do that Dark', that is a very good idea. The best way is I guess, is to get a portfolio printed up and do the rounds. Thanks for that.
