I was mining through the archives, looking for images to run through the HDR process, when this one caught my eye. Nice big red shiny bus along a parade of shops in London.

I didn't mind the tilt because the angles seem to enhance the perspective, adding a little drama and bustle to a busy street scene.

Then it seemed to be nostalgic to the illustrations in those early reader Ladybird books about 'Peter & Jane', where Peter pops down town for a packet of smokes, while Jane tends to the 'dolls house'. Or maybe those were the 'advanced' versions.

Nice work, John! The red busses are outstanding, while other parts seem nearly B&W. The angle of shot is very interesting.

The HDR is very effective here, John. The tilt certainly adds a touch of drama.

Oh, fabulous post work John, it brings back great memories of when I was in England many times. I loved riding on the double deck buses, but these are more modern.

This is a beautiful HDR even if it is a bit tilted. The colours are very striking

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
