Taken with a Lensbaby Trio 28 and 'Sweet' optic. ACROS film simulation on Fuji X-T2
I just noticed how many recent shots of mine feature this bridge.. the last three entries in-fact.
This was taken around the same time as my recent entry for Morning ... you can see how lucky I got with lack of crowds for this shot.
DQ - Well, I messed up so deserved the DQ... my lightroom workflow appears to have auto-toned on import and I didn't notice until
digging out the original.. I quite like the original gloomy shot which better reflects the dull morning... Ironically I suggested this challenge and
the 'minimal editing' aspect then tripped over my own limitation :)
Un-edited shot for comparison. Apologies to any who feels they wasted a vote...

Thanks to everybody for your votes and kind comments.
It does seem too good to be true and the Bridge is busy this time of the morning (around 8:00am) - I took a selection of photos on this morning and this was by far the stronger of the shots.
This was not staged, I simply got lucky with the perfect subject at the perfect time - no other commuters in view and a suitably dreary morning in London :)
I plan to write a blog post at the weekend with out-takes from this morning and some details around the Lensbaby Trio 28
This has the hallmarks of the classic. The confident stride of the man with his black coat walking along the line, seems too good to be true, was this a set up? Funny how there are no other people in this image I've seen this place before and it's always full of people. Just the right amount of blur on the fringes of this photo. This is the winner for me.
Nice leading lines and isolation of subject. personally, I would have preferred a bit more contrast but your composition is spot on here and the elements all work really well together. Top 3 pick for me.
