Seagull Wharf
by JohnE
Taken from the Greenwich Peninsula looking over a disused pier and the river Thames. I liked this view because it made the edge of Canary Wharf seem derelict and overgrown. This is an exposure merge of 3 hand held exposure bracketed photos. Taken with Pentax Kr and 18-55 DA-AL kit zoom lens. Post-work in Photomatic and Paint Shop Pro X2.

I wish I could sum photos up as well as Sean but I totally agree with him, I like it very much

I would say that is outstanding. As Jim as said, I also don't have the words to express as well as Sean, but I just know that I like it and that it takes some talent and expertise to shoot and process as well as this.

Terrific shot with great shapes and tones but I'd crop out the highest, horizontal layer of cloud which, to my mind, acts as a "lid" to the composition. Just cover it up and you'll see how much better the picture is.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Thanks all for the comments. Good call about the tighter crop, Andrew. Not sure how to change to a cropped version of the picture here without deleting and uploading again.

I love the horizontal lines in the foreground drawing in the eye, switching to the vertical lines of the buildings and back to the lateral lines of the clouds.
I think the PP work you've done is great, lots of subtle shifts in light & tonal range. Sharp yet has a soft pencil drawing look.
Yup, dig it
