i took this picture borrowing my friend's Olympus who was kind to lend me.. i remembered the films i brought along with me from here lots of konica rolls :) sorry i did not took the whole building.. but as you all know its very old.. sorry about the peoples in this picture too..

i totally forgot.. this is the famous 10th Downing Street.. you can find it Here

Hello Terry

You are posting late today,
Beautiful look of these gates and the people's curiosity.
What will be that he has there inside!!
You returned well to the time behind, about 50 years for the acquired texture in this picture. Wonderful!
Congratulations and have good dreams.....

I like the edges and the addition of noise for aging to complement the sepia. It does look old! Good job!

Terry, your pp work gives a really old look to this photo. Very good framing, and the tourists and police-people make me think it must have been taken a long time ago.
BRAVO!
Janice

Hello Terry
Beautiful sepia colour and details of this beautiful composition.
Very nice theme and well presented. Well done.TFS

Hello Terry,

Your treatment of this shot reminds me of old newspaper photographs! Over years, they take on this characteristic colour! The border adds to this perception!

I think the characters add to the effect, particularly the police people! London and the bobby go hand in hand!

Well done,
Bev :-)

Hi Terry,

Excellent capture of a well known address in London :-)
I like the PP too. Very interesting contribution to the theme.

I like your choice forhte old building sepia theme. It is a very well known tourist attraction too and the people in the shot does not bother me at all because that is how I remember my visit there a number of years ago.

Hi Nong,
Cantik ko punya tone sepia. Nampak betul-betul macam dulu-dulu (jaman kuda makan tembaga). Nasib baik tidak nampak itu kaki orang yang di depan tengah menyubuk ke dalam tu bangunan. Kalau tidak, sya rasa kompom pakai bell-bottom itu gaman, kan? :D
Apa pun, yang penting ko punya posting ni bertepatan sama Helen's theme. Nicely done, Nong.

Hi Terry,

Hi Terry.

Great stuff. Excellent find for the theme.

I have some similar shots, although the composition is not as interesting as yours. The inclusion of the two tourists peering through the gates and the police presence makes it much more interesting to look at.

The treatment is excellent and you have definately achieved that 'old' look. Very convincing.

hello Terry,
I like your PP work here as your photo looks like a page torn out of a history book.

Hello Terry. You did a good job with this sepia conversion of 10 Downing Street. It looks like the the Margaret Thatcher era with big pearl stud locked to the ears. The bobbies don't change much anyway. Good rustic look and well done. Have a wonderful weekend ahead. Regards, Jusni.

Salam Boom,

Excellent!! Two thumbs up..

Hi Terry

The sepia tone & ragged edges make this shot look much, much older than it's 5 & a bit years. Good sharpness & pov. Bagus sekali!

Wow, Terry. What a great job you have done here. It looks like it was taken long ago. The inclusion of the people makes it even more interesting as it gives the gates more meaning. Wonderful capture and stunning presentation for the theme.

You certainly succeeded in making Number 10 look old.
Nice to have the Coppers in the picture too, well done.
