St Paul's Cathedral

I was looking around for a B&W image for this week's competition at the camera club & came up with this one which was, until a couple of hours ago, a colour image on a sunny day last April.

Nice work, Gary. I liked that you have either cropped in or zoomed in and the whole frame is filled with the cathedral. It works well in b/w too.

Cracking photo and conversion. Might need straighting as it looks a bit lopsided.

Beautiful photograph! Love the stark contrast, reminds me of the black and whites 'of old,' which I love.

thanks,

Old Boy, I've been struggling with the skewed perspective, but the main pillars just above the flats & other buildings are vertical as are the small pillars on the section above the main dome, maybe it needs a paralex shift to bring the right side up a little but leave the verticals vertical, if that makes sense. I think the cathedral looks a little skewed compared against the other roofs
