[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is one of the lamps on Putney Bridge, which crosses the Thames. The present bridge was opened in 1886.

I took the photo late this afternoon, while sitting in a traffic jam.

In Photoshop I cropped the image, sharpened it, and added the border. The colours are "as seen".

Great mood in this shot. The colors are balanced very nicely. The composition is interesting. Excellent exposure with no loss of detail in the shadows or the highlights.

Nice shot Steve. Very nice simple and effective composition. Beautiful colors in the lamp and in the sky. Excellent definition.
Bravo!

Hi Steve
Superbe cadrage, la lumière du lampadaire eclaire un magnifique ciel. Très joli travail
Toni

Very nice image, Steve! The moment was right, you shot it, perfect! TFS!

refreshing way of using a sunset, Steve. In this case the sunset itself is not the star but the lamps are. So, 2 points from me.

Very nice image. Ilove the detail in the lamp that would often be over looked but in this image is very much the centre point i feel.

I love the sky in this image also...great comp.

Very good lighting. Beautifull shot. Like the composition very much.

Hello Steve !


Nice lanterns ! Very romantic, I imagine them well on a foggy night , with a cab moving slowly on the bridge, as you walk the distent shore......

Sunsets and sunrises are beautiful moments to get great moods.

TFS,
Robert

Hi Steve,
Amazing colours that you captured here. Well done.
Sunil

Gas lights back then, I suspect, Steve? In any case, nice juxtapositioning of the lamps against the sun-infused clouds. I like the mood. You've used your tools to good effect.

it's beautiful, both the background and lamps.
Antony

Good capture in the sky..

Great colors.. Perfect timing, when lights newly on while sunset time.. So nice composition..
Elif

Beautyful balance between the light sources.

A good way to escape the stress of that trafic jam :) It's very nice! Electric light v/s celestal light :o) I like it!

Hi Steve,
this is a fantastic photograph! Honestly, your composition is superb, it's so sharp and clean too! I hope you don't mind, I just couldn't help imagining it in B&W, although it gives another mood, so I will add my workshop just to share it with you.
congr on this wonderful job!!
regards,
M:)
