There were not too many people there as I went during the week, but I still had to wait a while to get a clear shot. I found that if I waited at the end, camera in hand, other people eventually hung back to allow me to get the shot.

I had not seen your image previously, although I can see the similarity even down to choice of focal length on full frame. It is mainly the emphasis on the Meridian Line and sculpture which are different. Seeing your shot makes me wonder if I should have converted mine to mono.

I quite like both shots. In Mike's I like the long length of the meridian and in Rose's I like the emphasis on the sculpture. Really nice sky in yours Mike. B&W works well too.

Thanks, Nina. This is the mono version of my shot.
