Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Bonne composition car il est très dur de faire original tellement Big Ben est un monument des milliers de fois photographié. Et puis il y a ce contraste entre le Londres ancien et le Londres moderne qui est intéressant.

Japanalia from Yokohama, Kenya
Oh, yes! Most certainly I'd have tried the same kind of composition! (We have here, in Yokohama - the new town - a big Ferris Wheel which tempts me every time I take a walk in the area.) A fine, interesting closeup...and moreover I like it that the Big Eye is painted in white!
