Super perspective. I could believe that legend.
A wonderful angle on this lovely building, Bill! Just saw Tara's shot of the same building (and 'to-die-for' lamppost) and I love the different interpretations! You both have wonderful shots, and the different views make it all the more interesting. You two make an awesome team!
Great building and a fine capture and POV. The lamps are a plus!!
awesome pov and shadows!
Great shot,Bill. Love the POV and the whole thing. What really grabs me is the gold at the top and how wonderfully opaque and tactile the bulbs in the lamp are. They look almost like milk bottles. I've never been able to get that realistic lighting effect on the glass. Very nice work here. I'd never heard the champagne bottle story. It makes perfect sense and explains a whole lot.
Yay, love your pov.
Fantastic POV , very beautiful shot !!!Great perspective !
Breathtaking POV and as soon as I saw the thumbnail - I knew that Denise would love the old fashion six globe lamp post.
I like the composition - the street light, reflections and clouds add to it all! Superb, Bill, Clive
