[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I tried very hard to catch an interesting photo of the Big Ben. I really didn't want to have an ordibnary tourist's shot, so I walked around Westminster area, searching for a ggod angle. And then I saw this - two circle - big and small, old and new, close and far.
I'm still not sure - is it interesting enough?

In my opinion you could improve this by cropping most or all of the building to the left. I guess the relation in the composition between the circle of big wheel and the cicrle of the clock would be stronger that way. I probably would increase contrast and convert to B/W too.

I made a WS to put more power to the relation between the two wheel. I think your pict is great, but not so special... You can have more fun on this site ;-)

I'd say that this is probably the most intresting picture of Big Ben that i have seen. Usually BB, the paris wheel etc are kind of cliche. It's difficult to come up with soemthing new and difrent, that has not allready been seen on a post card. From what i remeber, i haven't seen this angle before, so good job Yitzhak.:) Not much you can do about the wheather and the dark light it produces but i think you used the tilt in a good way to compensate. It gives the picture a bit of a dark feeling, like they are falling down. And that matches the light and wheather. As a whole i think the pic still is a bit dark but you'll get 1 point for the difrent angle and 1 point for making teh wheater work for you :)

I like the idea althought the weather wasn´t the best the framing could have been diferent! Points for originality
