It looked like that at the time, honest....hic.
But you raise a good question: can anyone tell me what is artistic/interpretative rather than just a photo?
I tweaked the colour and contrast a bit on that one, but then most people do I would guess, and the rest of the effect just came because I deliberately aimed at the sun.
So is it Art or just plain crap? (As I shouted to passers by outside the Tate Modern)
