Shard....and other bits

Couldn't resist the light in the sky and on the glass so I took a quick shot with the K-x and 55-300. The other bits are intentional as I thought they made a nice contrast with the ultra-modern glass building.

Wow I really like that, the contrasts and angles are brill. But must admit I would have PP the building out on the left hand side to give some more balance. (But that is just a personal feeling and not a critque).

I like it very much. Try to cut of the crane and the chimney. I think it would look like a futuristic tower of Babylon. But as I said, I really like it!

Thanks for all of the comments! I like this image as it is, although I know it may look more graphic without the crane and old chimney.

Best wishes

I think the contrast, old and new, should stay!
