Daves View
Being British..........
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 28 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.
There are a number of these kiosks dotted around the London Eye; I suppose its a tourist thing rather than patriotism, the same kinda shops are all over Dublin, whereever an American Tourist might venture! :)
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Good low level angle just allowing the top of the London Eye to be seen. Is this a hdr image Dave...?

@Observing: No Mike, as shot with some muting of the colours (a bit too much now I look at it again!) Thanks for your comment!
@Zing: Thanks Zing
Mike from Lichfield, United Kingdom
Great angle you've taken the shot from and I really like the two vapour trails as well.

I'd probably make a bee line for this tourist trap. If it wasn't good stuff though, I'd keep on walking. Beautiful shot from a super point of view.

Excelent POV. Just a small portion of the London Eye, and showing the busy tourists. I like how the guy in the front looks surprised into the camera :) Nice processing and the muted colors work fine. Well done!

@Rui: Thanks Rui
Diane Schuller from Hythe, Canada
I too like the angle you shot from. I was drawn more to the people and the sky. Those contrails add a sense of celebration (like fireworks) to the image -- perhaps I just have a vivid imagination.

There's that eye of yours again, Dave. This is a favourite haunt of mine and yet I would never have seen this shot. Superbly captured, first class as always

I love the way the vapour trails mark up the shot, leading into the scene. The PP is very stylish too.
