Great shots Ossie! I do find the bullit-shaped building in the third image not entirely suited for the classic processing.

I like Nik Silver Effects t0o and have used it together with Lightroom for the images I posted in this thread.

Indeed eye-catching and heart-warming, Ossie. : )

Would love to see more...

I am with Mark. Great treatments on all of them.
The Ovoid structure in the third one is certainly
incongruous with the rest of the architecture.
I am curious if that incongruity persists even in the
color.

With best regards,
Sury

mvanrheenen, Aster and Sury thank your for your comments.

Sury, I have added the colour version of the third image. How ever you look at it the ovoid building or "Gherkin" as it is known, sits most uncomfortably with the other buildings in the vicinity.

I think the color rendition is much better for me. The modern buildings to the left and right (as I am looking at the photo)
of the Gherkin offer the modernity and does not make the Gherkin look like a odd man out. Now it looks more like a blend of
old and new. Perhaps, a commentary on how the architecture has evolved over time.

With best regards,
Sury

Actually, the Gherkin just proves that "Men in Black" is real and also in London. That's obviously where they hid the latest alien spaceship! :lol:
