Sheldonian - Bruce

Sheldonian Theatre in Broad Street in Oxford. While the lovely low sun appeared under a cloud, I could hear a
classical concert in progress. This fine building is notorious for it's uncompromising bench seats!

Great light and colours!

I like the perspective and lighting as well as those nice Oly tones.
Good shot Bruce.

Thanks both. I corrected the verticals slightly, but going the whole way lost a lot of the image, and killed the feel, so this seemed the best compromise. As you say, it's all about light and colour.

The composition is not what one expects with architecture but it works for me becuase of the way light and shadow works on the buildings and the distant objects down the road adds a lot of interest.

I like the strong colour contrast in this, great light. The composition produces a great dynamism and deepness, I can follow the street building by building and arrive to these ones in the far background that remain enlightened, superb! endika
