Excellent composition. Colors are bit more saturated for my taste. Still excellent capture.

I'm curious what lens you used, this looks really neat, I like the yellow lighting against the cool blues.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1115 images, I gave 94 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 94, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.

Nice take on an often photographed bridge. The yellow really compliments the blue, and I like the fisheye effect.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Always rainy in London :) ... Nice photo, but for some reason I would have wane a little bit on the left side so there would have been a space the Tower Bridge and the egg shaped building :D ...

Pretty harsh looking. Maybe a bit less sharp and contrasty might help.
