I would appreciate a critique on this photograph which is from one of my recent wanders Thameside.
Many thanks

Haha, its taken me several minutes to work out actually what I was looking at. All of a sudden it seemed to be obvious. Its an interesting composition of light and shade, curves and angles. Somehow though I'm not sure it really flows and I find myself left a little frustrated by it. I wouldn't mind betting though that somewhere at the same location there is a great image there.

Re: Curved Concrete

Silly thought maybe but I don't see enough 'curve' to warant the title, moreso in the top half.

That was a bit like a Chinese puzzle at first. Took me some time to see what it was. Unusual sort of view. As Stephen said, could be interesting from a different angle.

Re: Curved Concrete

Many thanks everyone for your replies on this.
Sorry Pops that I could not make it more curved

Re: Curved Concrete

I like photographs such as this, it put a smile upon my face when realisation struck home. The contrasts in sharp edges/softening shadows, light/dark, straight/curved, perceived soft/hard, and the subtlety of colour all make me think. A dark frame to contain it may make a difference too.

Many thanks Blithe and I am happy you like the image so much.
It looks good in print with a black border as you suggested.
