I really like this photo, it looks busy, yet peaceful at the same time.
Gives me a feeling of "time to go home", and the construction is at a rest.

Perhaps the boundry between sky and building is too centered, 1/3 rule could apply? I'd go with more sky.

What gear did you use to take this one? I assume a wide angle lens?

I really like the colors, especially the blues in the city and yellows in the sky. I think this is an exceptional image.

Wow...look at all those cranes! You've really captured a great story here. And not only that, but you composed it well with good light and colors. Nice job noticing this opportunity! I can just imagine myself (if I were there) scoffing at the skyline and saying something like, "I came all the way to London to shoot this beautiful city and all I can see are a bunch of cranes!"....and hence I would miss the opportunity you took advantage of, and so well I might add! Making lemonade out of lemons...

Very nice stitched panorama shot in the late evening sun. I don't think I have ever seen so many cranes in one shot before. London is truly undergoing reconstruction. Excellent work!

Thank you all for such positive comments. Yes, i went to this building called Tate (Tate Modern is the national gallery of international modern art.) with the single purpose to shoot the beautiful London sky line and was disappointed initially, but decided to shoot anyway and was not to sure about how this would turn out plus i got to see some really cool art and some very unique ways of framing photographs. So all's well that end's well!

Thanks once again!
