Default What do you think about atmosphere?

My idea was to show this well known and a bit boring view a bit different. London is a beautiful city, but so full of tourists...
Its my version of Sherlock's Holmes London :-).
Did I achieved that look?
Proper Sherlock

Hello and welcome to DPS,

I think your shot is beautifull and the mood you set is great. One thing i would do is to crop out some of the bottom water that does not add to the shot and this would bring the city down into the bottom 1/3 of the shot instead of spliting the shot in two.

The buildings could use more detail and the blown out area of the sky is very distracting.

I agree about cropping out a lot of the water at the bottom but you've done a great job capturing the mood you're going for. To complete the effect, I'd crop out the modern high rise on the left and clone out the bus on the bridge and the boat under the tower.

Thanks everyone. I think that cropping its a good idea. This modern building on the left of the pictures doesnt really suit. Thanks for suggestions :-)
