Hi Bryan! I like the old effect of this photo, Great shot!

A beautiful POV of this road. I like how the buildings frame the shot down each side. A great idea to convert to black & white - adds to that "classic" feel!

hello Bryan,
great bird's eye view of the Royal Mile. Lots of interesting detail and there is an almost Lowry like quality to the figures. Funnily enough I have a shot of a seagull looking down on Edinburgh (taken on the over-the -road walkway near the St james shopping centre) that I had thought to post.

greeting, terry

Hi luckybry,

Hi Bryan,

Very nice picture, good choice for black and white, great gray tone, not too much contrast, wonderful composition with the curve of the steet.

Have a nice day, Michel
