I love the first two, especially the second one, very atmospheric

It's such a shame the panorama has to be so small because it looks great!

I love the first shot. Traditional, nothing new, but it looks fantastic.

I never knew London was so tall

Very nice. I like the long exposure on Tower Bridge. Here are a few of my own...

Marc,

I must say I like the St Pauls pic, very nice.

Thanks. Ever noticed when you are out and about shooting pics in London that a small crowd of Japanese tourists follow you around taking the same shots or is it just me?

Not at the times that I like to shoot at - they're all still in bed!

Agreed... I think it's a stunner. Brilliant capture of the sun through the tower.

Ditto - superb shot

Interesting to see some very different interpretations of a very traditional topic (Tower Bridge). Of the two Ed's last one is my favoutite.

Of yours Lake I do like number 1 but it does feel a bit cold to me, somehow to me Tower Bridge is a welcoming sight and works beautifully with the warm glow.

I also like number 3 as I've not seen that viewpoint before. Is there a traffic island you were standing on, or were you really in the middle of the road?

Chris,

Yup, in the middle of the road trying not to get run over There is an island about 40-50 years further back, but the angle from there means you cannot get the full tower in the shot as it cropped at the top by the 1st arch if you see what I mean.
