City Competition 2 2017 - all cities! : Entry Number 55

Judges Comment

Congratulations to the winner of the I-Shot-it city contest for a fantastic image! Juxtaposing urban greenery and concrete factory creates an interesting storyline and intrigue. The clean feeling of the image, excellent framing choice, and crisp rendering all help the story, but the repetition of shapes in both halves really tie the two sides together. The person walking in the foreground completes the composition. Well done!

Photographers Comment

This shot of Battersea Power Station in London was made in 2007. The camera I used was Nikon D2Xs with 17-55mm lens, 200 ISO. There was a brief period when the power station was open to general public and we naturally jumped at the opportunity. It was a beautiful day with pristine blue sky with not a single cloud in view, and with this picturesque fence in front of the power station I immediately saw an opportunity for a perfect shot. All I had to wait for was a passer-by.
