Photographer’s Note
The London Millennium Footbridge is a pedestrian-only steel suspension bridge crossing the River Thames in London, England, linking Bankside with the City. It is located between Southwark Bridge (downstream) and Blackfriars Bridge (upstream). With construction beginning in 1998, it was the first new bridge across the Thames in London since Tower Bridge in 1894 and it is owned and maintained by the City Bridge Trust, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation.
Londoners nicknamed the bridge the Wobbly Bridge after crowds of pedestrians felt an unexpected swaying motion on the first two days after the bridge opened. The bridge was closed and modified, and further modifications eliminated the "wobble" entirely.
The southern end of the bridge is near Globe Theatre, the Bankside Gallery and Tate Modern, the north end next to the City of London School below St Paul's Cathedral. The bridge alignment is such that a clear view of St Paul's south facade is presented from across the river, framed by the bridge supports, thus providing a scenic view of the cathedral.

Hi Mirani,
I like the composition and the light.
Most of all, I like the reflection of the girl running under the business man walking in the other side.

Hola Mirari
Pese al "escaneo" de la imagen (se ha perdido algo de calidad), la foto sigue siendo buenísima. Me encanta el juego que haces con la gente "real" que viene hacia adelante, y la gente en el reflejo que se aleja de la cámara.
La inclusión de la gran cúpula de la Catedral de St Paul le da el toque "histórico" a un puente tan moderno, y a ese ejecutivo que se acerca.
El cielo es muy bello, con esos tonos rosas. Supongo que es al atardecer, cuando a ese ejecutivo "lo han dejado ya" salir del curro, no?
Un abrazo
Víctor

Olá Mirari,
La ilusion optica en esta foto es impressionante. Me recuerda la ciudad de Angeles com la Meg Ryan y Nicholas Cage porque tambien en esta foto, el hobre con la bici, pasa por el otro sin darse cuenta.Ademas la composicion está también muy bien.
