Dragon on the wind

A few weeks ago I took this because the dragon was so wonderful. There is a lot going on, but there is a palpable excitement in the air. This is the Mayor of London's Thames Festival - taken at St Katharines Dock in the City of London.

I thought Manet painting when I first saw this. It's got the same sort of atmosphere to it. Love the composition. And that sail is fabulous.

That dragon is awesome!! Very crowded there and festive. St. Katherine Docks cafe looks like a pretty good place to eat!

[Diane]

[Charlene Barker]

Wow, so festive

[Ann H. LeFevre]

There is a lot going on in this shot! It's funny to me because here's this incredible sail and no one's looking at it. The fellow in the foreground with his cell phone makes me laugh!

There is a lot going on but your composition gives it layers which makes it relatively easy to look at. cool shot

[Reyes Teixeira]

Yes...a lot of things are going on...I can spend a lot of time discovering details...
I am just an amateur but I love the composition: one triangle full of people and another one full of the reason to be there...
Fab & Fav!!
