it's the monolith! it's like an ovular monolith, from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

guiding mankind's evolution in London?

hehe, tis quite possible, although id be more inclined to think it was some form of surveillance equipment installed by MI5 just down the river lol

oh wow this looks like the gate to another dimension... I wish it wasn't positioned exactly in the middle of the photo,
it would look more pleasant to the eye placed at 1/3 right or left side just a little hint

There's something about this picture which makes it very abstract, besides the sculpture, perhaps b/c it's at the center of a bridge surrounded by old architectire and art. It attracts attention, and with the moon above it like so, hmm...impressive composition, I like it.

great capture! i like the moon best.

ps: i was just looking at the pic spec and noticed that your ISO is at 64. would it be better if it's at 400?

theres about 3-4 in different sizes positioned all around city hall. they look even more interesting at night with the light reflecting.

Nice shot; the colors are fantastic as always.

The sculpture, however... reminds me of my guinea pig's droppings.

Your night time exposures are getting better and better - I like how abstract this is. Could be very science fiction - an egg or some kind of pod dropped from the sky. I like the reflective quality of it's surface - gives it somewhat of a cold / mysterious feeling in comparison to the surroundings. Nice!
