    Old Daily Express Building - Fleet St
    I think I needed something more interesting than a couple of people trying the doors (it was a weekend, they were locked). Unfortunately I was out with a friend, and I don't think she would have been happy if I'd suggested that instead of finding somewhere to have a drink, we stay standing on a traffic island in the middle of Fleet Street while I waited for my 'decisive moment' ;)

    Its a great building though, modernist exterior, art deco interior, and it even features in the film "The Day the Earth Court Fire" (classic sci-fi)

    Hi Matt,
    I think B&W is very appropriate. The upper part of the photo, depicting the decorations and reflection, is very interesting and effective. The positions of the two people may not be that strong in the whole image.

    Cheers Yoyo - what really worries me though is that I spelt "caught" as "court" in my original post - inexcusable! I will now go and hang my head in shame, whilst reminding myself that sitting in front of the computer until 3am is never a good idea!

    Matt, I like the potential here and the framing is right. The lighting needed to be better and the persons positions should be more interesting as Yoyo stated. Worth another try. But this one not there yet.
