A rainy night in London by streats

A rainy night in London

Was taking a few pictures after an evening out on the southbank when this couple strolled into shot under the street lamp with their red umbrella. Seemed like a nice enough scene for my photo today.

Thank you all for you kind comments and Favs on The White Horse, found its way briefly onto the PP which made my day :)
Fav ... gorgeous image ..love it!!

very beautiful shot Ian!

Lovely composition Ian and what a stroke of luck they wandered into your shot. Fab processing too!
August 14th, 2013  
This is perfect, fav for me, so inviting
August 14th, 2013  
Or were they friends you dragged along to be models?? Only kidding what a stroke of luck, definitely adds to the shot. I read a quote in a post yesterday which said words to the effect that to make a perfect picture all an artist has to do is include the colour red - I think they have a point.

@paulaw haha, I don't think I know anyone that would be willing to wander along the Thames in the rain like that to pose for me! No was just one of those moments, was taking shots of the view but not very interesting until these two wandered along, so just waited for them to come into view. True about red, although I tried that in my next shot today and I'm not so sure it worked!

@kazlamont thanks Kazzy, the original was pretty grainy and lacking the detail I would have liked, so that very much influenced the processing.
