By the River, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

This was taken in my favourite place down by the river Thames on the Southbank. It was pretty dark so i had to use a long exposure time, which took some of the sharpness as i didn't have a tripod, but i like the feeling of it, it was a cold night in november... For some reason my Exif data is showing up now which is good.

beautiful walk of the evening resting, pleasant sky, I just propose in ws a realignment and some final improvements to restore the calm athmosph鋨e which come to disturb in my opinion the shades 𢘫ena蓷ntes� of the tree, the dustbin and paper on the ground in a friendly way luke serge

Hi dude,

good to see you posting again. You've done well to hang on to this using a one second exposure without a tripod. I think having the person on the bench centrally works very well because the trees become a natural frame. You've made good use of light and shadow, the colours are vivid and I like the two street lights, the repetition of the railings and the reflections. It's an excellent capture, well done.
