thanks Armin, Rod & CJ :-) to CJ - you're probably thinking of Indoor Landscapes chalenge - someone beat me to the punch and posted a similar shot there, so I didn't enter this one back then. but it came in handy for this sequence. definitely worth a visit if in London. - b.c.

wonderful perspective!

The lighting works really well here & makes this work. Well done b.c. :-)

Beautiful series b.c.. I think I voted for this one already once! I'll have to make a point of visiting this place my next trip to London. CJ

thanks David, aam1234 and Cat. yes, this really is a beautiful space. I did try to tone down some of the highlights using PS particularly the upper left corner stonework, but otherwise the shadow areas of the stone/steelwork are pretty much as-shot. In spite of the strong directional light from the left, there's just so much other indirect light in this hall that I guess the contrast and DR seemed to work out ok. - b.c.

This one is beautiful and very detailed. The capture of light as well as the illumination is also very nice. Given the dark stone and steel work, I would think the contract on this one would be much higher than this. You've achived a great dynamic range here. -Cat

Been to NHM few times but never noticed the majesty of it. You certainly showed that b.c.

Excellent symmetry on this shot. The muted colours work well too. David.
