So I was in London today and I thought I would take my camera out, the weather in the morning was terrible and all I could think was that I had to lug this bag around with my suit on. But then all changed and the sun and the blue sky came out to play. When I was standing on Westminster bridge the Sun was right behind me to the left and you could see it shining on the clouds and on the London eye in front of me, you could even see Big Bens reflection in the Thames. 

I took my shot and I was happy with it and as soon as I saw it on the big screen when I got home I knew that I wanted the image just to be in blue and white. 

In photoshop I took out a few birds and some boats in the middle and tried to keep it clean as possible. I took it back in to lightrooms and I increased the sharpness and clarity, I then used the split toning and increased the shadows to blue, I increased the whites to bring out the white a bit more but the blew out some of the colour and high lights in the middle so I bought the blue luminance down. I then used the gradient tool to darken the sky, I did it twice to make it even darker at the very top, then used it again on the bottom to add like a vignetting effect so you would be drawn in the middle.
