I was really struggling for this one as you can tell... ummm oh well! took it on a General Studies trip to London on the first submisson day of the challenge which was a bit lucky I suppose. We were just about to get on the Eye and the sun was setting over London meaning I got this great shot of Westminster. I put together a couple of photos that I was gonna enter until I realised I wasn't allowed to! I'll put them up on my website soon... (www.nickreeve.com)

Zooming and panning slightly left would have made this composition. It would have placed Big Ben off-centre in the shot brought the interesting elements closer and would have excluded the irrelevant items such as the dark object in the foreground and some of the less interesting buildings on the right.
Nice time of day and colour though, so it's still a pleasing shot.
The focus here looks a bit soft, and the setting sun is blown out at the right of the tower. Also, the subject is dead center of the photo. I'm not a rule of thirds hardliner, but it would have been helpful here.
Is that London? If so, it's funny how you would choose a free nation of England to choose as your propaganda subject rather then the Cuban government, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, China, etc.
It'd be nice to see a little of the definition since the subject is not FULLY silhouetted. It's pretty. I have a picture just like this, taken from a boat in Venice, Italy.
