I was there taking pics over the w/e! Next to Lloyds building.
Nice image - though I am not sure about the blurring effect (at these limited dimensions, it looks a bit like a series of jpeg smoothing artefacts). Well done on top 30 though!
Interesting use of the odd blurring. It adds a little business to the picture, although I'm not sure I like it 100%. The addition of the reading man really makes the picture.
Nice capture. Trees standing out in cityscape sceneries work well. THe colors and layout work really well here but the intense blur scattered around is a bit distracting. Still gave this an 8.
I have found that photographs with with lines in it like this photograph generally score very well here in dpc. I am sure this photograph will not be the exception.
Perfect capture of not only a tree, but a moment. It appears to me that the moment is both in motion and fixed in time. I really enjoyed this picture. Good luck. I give it a perfect 10.
Well done. I like the contrast betwenn the tree and the concrete. Could have been godd for the leading lines challenge too;-). Good luck for the challenge!
I think the composition is compelling and I like the soft focus effect. For some reason I want to see more of the tree, although I realize that probably wasn't possible. 6
In the street photography you must take the result that come. with a better composition between tree and man I rate with a higher rating. Too much worked the image (diffuse glow or similar effects I think) 5
I dont' see the tree as the major factor in the scene. it does add the composition, which I like. your processing, lines and the guy create a nice scene, but not one squarly in the challenge. nonetheless 5.
what strikes me first is the way the lines of the stairs draw your eye around to the gentleman sitting in the b.g. nice use of this and the lighting is pretty cool as well. however, voters may see a very well composed picture of a man on the steps framed by the tree. i hope not, though. i'm bumping this to an 8
Interesting lines, nice glow applied - actually, very nice post-processing with this in general. Think I may know who this is just by the setting - those steps look familiar. ;^) Anyway, best of luck to you in the challenge.
This is very nice. I would have ordinarily thought the tree was not showing enough of its form, but those wonderful curving steps make this a very pleasing composition.
