Into the gaping mouth of London / Tower Bridge

zzapback has added a photo to the pool:

Into the gaping mouth of London / Tower Bridge

Check it out on black or at 1280 x 850 pixel and be scared! :-)

About this shot
Just arrived in London, two months ago. It was not a very good evening for night photography to be honest. I thought about throwing away all the shots I took that night... in the end I decided to keep some. This one was wa-hay too rough and noisy and flary for my own taste, although I still liked it for *some* reason.

I guess it was the way the Tower Bridge looked like a giant animal gobbling everything that enters its gaping mouth - a rather nice metaphor that certainly helped while post processing!
Hope you like the *look and feel* of this image, have a splendid day!
