First and last are the best. Placing the tourist sign against the tower works well, a very tight crop would be better in some ways - a vertical just of the clock tower and the sign. I would rate that as a potential repeat stock image seller. I didn't see this sign when shooting round HoP after the Alpha 700 launch.

Wonderful! I haven't seen another composition like that first picture with Big Ben, but it is so good it wouldn't surprise me to find that it was a popular shot to take. I love it. The dramatic light helps it greatly.

Hi gio67, :)

I think the overcast cloudy day lighting brings out the golden highlights of the carvings on the Big Ben which makes the photo special. The same aplies to the third image, in fact I like the shadowy moodiness in both images. The second photo could be better of without the baluster/pole on the left and maybe with more of the wheel showing instead.

I also agree with David's view on cropping the first photo, which would strenghten the impact of the image and its message.

Thanks for sharing,
Yildiz

Nice take on the Big Ben shot. Like no 3 a lot as well (the inclusion of the name plate works well) but I agree with Sonolta in that I am not too sure about no 2.
