Charing Cross Station & The River Thames from the London Eye

            Slight variation on a shot I uploaded onto flickr a few months ago. This series were all taken hand held while on the Eye and despite having relatively low shutter speed (1/8 of a second!!!), shooting through curved glass and jostling for position I was pleasantly surprised how sharp they came out - virtually no rejects at all!

Can someone please do me a favour and comment on how vivid this looks at their end. On my monitor the colours are quite intense but when I view it on my iPad it's much more muted. Either I've got the settings on my monitor wrong or the iPad colours are less vibrant than elsewhere.
