Oh flip I just wrote a whole spiel and didn't save it properly! Here goes again.
I really like the whizzzy dd bus. Think it would look great on a wall if you had the right wall. How about an art gallery? But if I was to put it on such a wall I would clone the bottom l/hand corner because to me it stands out as not being part of the picture. I think I would actually grab some of the top r/hand leaving out the top part of the pavement turn it into a layer and rotate it and either gaussian blur it or motion blur it. Probably gaussian so that it looks like it is not part of the moving bus. The gherkin looks like it s a modern leaning tower of pisa from that angle. I just love those spring leaves which brighten up the shot. Shame really that the whole pavement was not wet at that time rather than just parts of it. That would have complimented the shiny gherkin.
Just remembered what else I said about the dd bus. Couldn't figure out what it was in the l/h corner. A gutter? Too clean and shiny. A window frame? Unusual to be black and again nice and shiny.
Well I can't say how long its been since I was in England, 8 years I think. And yes that building looks like a metal cucumber. But where the heck is the DD bus you are all talking about. I seem to remember them being red? Have I gone colour blind?
This was a view of an open roof sight seeing double decker bus photographed from the rooftop of the building Anna's flat is in.

I just like them a lot--am really enjoying them. I do particularly like the buses.

The bus is the diagonally blurred red shot. Taken from the top on a slow speed.
