WOW, Nigel, this is good! They are going to have to recall all the English school books that have pictures of Westminster in them so that they can replace those archaic books with new ones with this picture in them! You even have a little British bird swimming by in the lower left. The colors and composition are outstanding.

Stunning shot!!
Very well taken :)

It's always nice when you can plan a shot out in your mind ahead of time, then wait for the lighting you want. It's a wonderful shot, very well composed and not at all trite in my opinion. (I know, I'm just a Yank, what do I know?)

Strolling to work at 9.45am? You Southerners have it easy. We Northerners have been at 't mill for 3 hours by then! lol. Very good shot Nigel taken from an unusual angle. You are right, the light is very gentle and the sky is just right.

Just gorgeous. Makes me wish I was over there again.

my goodness ...
Nigel, this is a treasure !!!!
Am just behind you - like I was with Kevin all the time on his tour !!! But promise to stay sooober ooops .. hick !!! sorry this time more or less that is ... LOL

I too thought it a bit late to be going to work, and let's face it, you're not there yet. You're taking this photo. If you get in hot water for being late, show them this marvelous photo. You're probably get a raise. Excellent photo and sun shining on clock tower shows just how important time is. Take advantage of every precious second you have. You did just that in this photo. Very good Nigel.

A truely remarkable capture; excellent lighting.

That is the perfect picture of London. Should be on the cover of a book about England. Fantastic.

Its one fine photo.A bit lighter would please me more.Did you have like an f6 or so?.

Fine and large view,looks good.

Excellent view point you found to get the size of the buildings down the side of the river, i have always been on the wrong side of the river to shoot from that angle i think, and the gold on big ben shows up great. you even got a nice sky into the bargain, for me the lighting is perfect, so glad you have got over your thing about not shooting london sites, how can something this nice be a cliche?

Nigel,
Just got this in the VB. WOW! It's clarity is amazing, and what a beautiful, beautiful shot. Very well done, my friend.
Fav'd.
Cheers to you - Pam :)

welll....your patience paid off Nigel! perfect light over Westminster! ....and the light is falling strongest on the face of Big Ben!!! love this one!

WOW....look at all your friends boggling their eyes out at this perfect shot. The building..everything is just right. It reminds me of a very high end postcard, the kind you don't see any more..It's already in my architectural fave file..any more hanging around? ..I love your definition of a cliche!

Fine work, congrats to you, my friend.

Perfect lighting Nigel!! You have fantastic detail throughout frame...nicely composed aslo...gerry

Nice shot Nigel. I have been to London as a tourist but I don't remember it as lovely as you have captured it. The light was perfect, not sunny and not the typical English weather.Will be there in March maybe and will try my luck.

You really got it right - what a great way to share your city! I love the lighting and the clouds in the sky are a bonus.

A stunningly beautiful image! This is a postcard material. The lighting is superb. No cliche at all.

Tremendous work Nigel. The golden aurora bestowed by the low sun picks out not only the full length of the House (my, those MPs must have been warm!) but also gives Big Ben's clock tower a special glint. The iron grey and shadows of the bridge complete the scene impeccably.

Pristine. As if it were newly minted.

This is a beautiful shot Nigel, just like some fairytale....and you made me feal like I was the princess! The colors and sharpness of the picture are excellent, a lovely job....thank you for sharing!

p.s. this is going up and into my favorites!

Finally! Someone has a picture of Westminister!
I've been searching around.. I like this shot. Would like to see even more angles, at differnt times.

Wow! Beautiful....And I agree with Jay.I would like to see more. :)Well done!

Nigel, the obvious criticism here is that it wasn't ME who took this picture! ;-) This has to be one of my favourite shots of yours. On my last trip to London I took about 20 shots that were almost identical to this, but never got to post them as I wasn't too pleased with them. What sets your apart from mine is the way you've captured the light shining on the underside of the bridge, and the slight glow on Big Ben. With the thin cloud and the reflections on the water this shot really is book cover/postcard material. A masterpiece my friend!

Paul :)

Amazing Picture! I wish I got one half as good as yours!

Cleanest, clearest, crispest most beautiful photo of Westminster I have ever laid eyes on!! Beautiful Nigel!

England, London.. Love this post Nigel! Mich
