Londres a la Tate, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

I have reported this image with some perspective correction and taking on board some of the feedback that has come in. I've also included the fifth person (who was cropped out before so it would fit with the scavenger hunt for four people).
What I have really notice while reprocessing this image is the more mature feeling that has come across. The background is more muted and the people have more identity. I feel this is a more human revision. I hope you enjoy it again.

Enjoying the view from the upper level cafe at the Tate Modern. I was happy to be blocked from going on the observation deck to take a picture... I had a good excuse to shoot through the window, more importantly, through the people, who quickly ignored me.

Straight ahead, we can see St. Pauls Cathedral. The Tate Modern itself is actually the old Bankside power station.

Hi Dan, I like this. the brightness of the glass of wine the woman is drinking is a nice detail. the tate cafe is definitely a great place to have lunch and watch the city. regards, emily

Painting? Yes, because you can watch it endlessly.
Put it into a wall.

You picked a very nic place..i always wanted to take a shot like that in the Tate but never occured to me....well i like the postures and the colours a lot...what I would liked better would be the people to be completely dark sillouttes..i think it would be much more mysterious and nice balanced..but thats just an opinion.
take care
Eugenia

Hi Dan,
A nicely calculated POV as seen from the position of the doom and 5 is a nice number for aesthetic value. I love the almost silhouette foreground in contrast with the soft and peaceful pastel background. The different postures gives the added variety and beauty. Congratulations and thanks.

Hello Dan
Just seen your picture different shot of St Pauls the people in the foreground seem to give depth to the shot, I agree this is the better shot
I wondered if a B+W convertion would give more of a reportage style to this shot

Kenny
