Suggester says; I honestly can't get bored of looking at photos of London if they are all like this. I really like the atmosphere and how it captures the spirit of London, in an age-old / alive sort of way, if that makes sense. For me, I feel as if you can imagine this taken now, or 50 years ago... Heck, even 100.

Description

London, 2 December 2010, night and VERY cold. They're lucky London did not get hammered with snow. Bad enuf getting into and out of the City let alone getting around it.

With the attention this image has gotten, this quote from Ansel Adams came to mind:

"A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words."

I was just thinking this is the best of the bunch and then see it got a DD lol.
I trick I learned once with clock faces. Do a normal exposure then bracket a -2 exposure a bit like when you shoot hdr but don't bother over exposing. Layer them in photoshop with the under exposed image on top, then erase everything bar the clock face so you get a correctly exposed clock face :)
But anyway, nice composition and b&w render, Nice work :)
