Tower Bridge London at Night

[CED1971]

Have been on a recent trip to London and made several attempts at this image. Any advice on the focussing and composition would be gratefully received.

Not too bad, but it looks a little tilted. Also, the girders etc. in the front are a bit distracting--a closer crop would be pretty nice. You might have to move a little down the waterfront to get it exactly--I've seen some shots from probably 500 meters farther away that came out pretty nice.

I wonder how this would look like if you disregarded the steels etc. in the foreground and accommodated more of the sky. The foreground just look very busy and cluttered.

Cheers!

You captured some wonderful detail in the bridge!
But I have to agree with the others about the busy foreground. I do like the starlights in the lamps. Almost made me forgot the busy end of it.
Thinking also, if you shot a bit more left to get in the other end of the bridge. It seems cut off and my eye wants to know why.
It is a beautiful night shot, though.

said before..
and I agree here... the foreground seems to be a bit distracting from your purpose...

But, I love the colors on the bridge itself!

Thank you for all your comments, I think I will try and have less foreground clutter next time.
