I saw this from the train on Friday just as it was pulling into Cambridge Station. I had to go to Cambridge again on Saturday so worked out where it was on Google Maps and took a slight detour.

London Ismaili Centre in South Kensington.

The Ismaili Centre is a cultural centre of the Ismaili community in London. I didn't know that when I took this, I've just looked it up on Google.

The first is beautiful, Paul, all the more for your seeking it out after a mere glimpse. I like the way you've cut off the tip of the lower leaves - I don't know why I do, but I do. Not sure about the second image - it isn't bad, I just don't feel pulled into it in the same way I do the first.

 

[Paul Lange]

Cheers Rob. I know what you are saying about the difference between the two images, they certainly are not of the same ilk. The second I liked for all of the geometric lines and shapes but in retrospect I think there is two much going on in the image, it doesn't really have focus and is a mix of disparate things.

 

[Dave Green]

Yep - two lovely contrasting shots. No1 is superb

Love the first one Paul. It's a little more artistic I guess.
Although the second is perfect so it's difficult for me to understand.

I'm with Rob. The second is nice and I can see why you took it but the first fits much better with the theme I think. A super shot.

loving #2. great textures and comp., those windows are pretty interesting.

 

[Paul Lange]

Thanks for posting the comments guys. Interesting to get different perspectives from different people.

 

[Pete Askew]

I disagree with Rob. The first is nice and I can see why you took it but the second fits much better with the theme I think. A super shot.


Just thought I'd try a different perspective from the same person! Mind, I think the guy is an idiot!
