Had to work today, and decided to take the camera with me, as I'd seen some shots on Flickr of a certain structure that caught my eye - just off Paternoster Square\St Pauls there are a pair of sculptures that actually serve as air vents for an underground electricity substation - they're rather striking to see..

If I am honest, some of these are inspired by other shots on Flickr, so not sure if that's cheating !

Working in the Square Mile, I must pass hundreds of these each day, but never notice them - I might start waving at them.

I think you've done a good job of these, 1&2 especially.
I think you needed to step about 1 pace to your right for number 3 to work to the same standard.
Number 4 doesn't do a lot for me, but I'd say it could do with a tiny bit more room to breathe above the camera.

Cheers - 1&2 are probably my favourites, but as I say, they're not overly original, as these sculptures have been snapped a fair number of times, and there's only so angles to take a shot from !

Now you mention it, 3 is a bit off centre - I'm back that way next weekend for work, so might revisit..

4 isn't my thing normally either, but it made me think that the camera was spying on someone from around the corner - again, agree it might be placed a bit tight in the frame.

Thanks for the comments - always useful to get another opinion, as it's a good way to improve.

#1 with the guy is good.
Am liking the abstract nature of #2.
Well seen - the symmetry in #3
#4 I think the camera could indeed use a little bit more space to breathe at the top.
Good set.

Number 2 is great.

No1 is a great shot - the addition of the person is what elevates it above the others for me.
They are all good shots though. Nice work.

Superbly dynamic shapes. Looks like one of those spots where you can hang around and wait to see what happens, then snap a cracker. I like them all.

Crazy sculptured vents Nice to see some art being put into something so bland. Great set.

Wow - wasn't expecting this thread to appear again after a few months !

Thanks all for the comments..

Its 1 and 4 for me. Nice work and I like the black and white look also.

[Bristol Pete]

Lovely stuff.

Certainly not cheating, those are great, love the symmetry and sharp edges.

Nice set. Striking sculptures and make a great subject.
