[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A little about the Millenium Bridge in London, England:
The London Millennium Footbridge is a pedestrian-only steel suspension bridge crossing the River Thames in London, England, linking Bankside with the City.
Londoners nicknamed the bridge the Wobbly Bridge after crowds of pedestrians felt an unexpected swaying motion on the first two days after the bridge opened. The bridge was closed and modified, and further modifications eliminated the "wobble" entirely.

HelloUrsula !

Very happy to see you back on line. Do not worry , we all take breaks . I took one recently too (^_^). We have to break the routine, and take a step back, so we can come back with fresh ideas, and motivations.

Cool work here Ursula!

Sadly it reminds me the Schindler's List movie . Maybe you remember the little girl in red ....
Anyway . Pretty neat POV and daily life scene.

TFS,

Season's Greetings,
Robert

Hi Ursula,
Well, it gives a cold feeling when looking at this desaturated image. That fits perfectly with the lady in front; she is dressed for cold.
Great POV for this bridge. Good sharpness.
greetings,
Joop!

Ursula,
Very nice POV. THe people on the bridge does make it seem alive!
Cheers,
Wellington

Hi Ursula,
Excellant POV here... a good symmetrical view. All the people captured gives the scene some life, and the high contrast works very well here IMO. A good come back posting and happy you are back. Thanks.

Hi Ursula,
What a nice partial conversion. The subtle touch of colors makes this photo. Excellent composition with a great perspective. I like to see many people walking on the bridge. It gives more life at this static POV. Very well done! Annie

:)Ok

Hi Ursula:
A really wonderful photo with great lines of perspective leading to the dome,probably the famous st pauls cathedral.The desaturation works well for me a nice way to hide a bland sky... well done and keep posting .......Roman:0)

Love this shot Ursula,
The desaturation was a stroke of genius!
Well executed and presented.

Hi Ursula,
Very nice photo! I like POV on it! However I think that this picture might be interesting too when had been taken with longer Exposure (illusion of movement), although the tripod would be useful then.
Anyway, very nice shot.
cheers,
Lukas

Beautifull composition and great shot. Regards Clanyi
