 The Great Court in the British Museum. Every time I go to London I visit the British Museum as they have such great stuff.

If you want a laugh go into the Greek Antiquities section and read the brochure on "Why the Brisith won't give the Greek's back their relics", it's quite a funny read to see how they justify keeping them.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Yes, the British have some fabulous museums in London, don't they. (I usually head for the Nat'l Gallery and the Tate)

You've captured a remarkable juxtaposition of eras, shapes and tones in one image. Still, your composition is quiet enough so that the viewer is not confused by all the information. That's probably why you scored so well in this difficult Challenge.

So, I'll say "congratulations" on a fine image and I'm delighted to have had the chance to view it again.

Great idea and excellent processing. Your composition is second to none. And your b/w conversion, awesome! If I didn't know any better, I would say this was taken with actual b/w film, and not a digital camera. It is so brilliantly done. Nice job.
