[Leica] London in Black & White

[afirkin at afirkin.com (Alastair Firkin)]

G'day, these are not words of an expert, I enjoyed the "tour of London", and 
with grey skies, b/w is very effective in Europe. Your collection is quite 
large, and rather jumbled. I mean by this, that you have a varied style and 
have them mixed all together. I think the presentation would benefit from 
organization, grouping, some textural details and a bit of editing. There 
are some very nice street scenes (6 and 7 for example). I have never really 
been a fan of too much street performer photography, so one example would be 
enough to show this side of London street life. 8 is fun, but really very 
distracting and "messy", relying on the art work of the poster to give it 
punch. and some scenes are too distant to be really striking: good record 
shots, but not really strong enough in this group. 

Cheers 

Alastair
