[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, London has its tourist "must photograph" sights. and, since I was a first time tourist, it came my duty to photograph the giant ferris wheel named The Eye, the Houses of Parliment and Big Ben. So here they are, all three of them in one photo. I'm nothing if not efficient. I did cheat a little with the Eye, since all you can see is a small part of the girders that make up this fantastic creation.

And now that I look at this on-line I can see it's slightly crooked; so be it, assume that I was tipsy with the excitement of riding high over the city.

Lois, what a creative way of putting all three "must see" landmarks of London in your photo! Very nice image, and sharpness is impressive as well. Nicely done, creative composition! TFS, Sam :0)

Creative and daring way to present the city. Though upfront, the iron bars leave enough room for the old and the perspective. Remarkable cropping and good framing.

Creative POV. Also like the front to back sharpness. TFS !

Brilliant idea and execution, tilt notwithstanding. I care not about that. It is the idea that counts. Huge DOF, which is just right. All the tourists except you are doing the standard stuff, including "This is a shot of me and Joe in front of the Houses of Big Ben" and along comes leb. Impressed of Manila.
