It does, doesn't it ... but I'm thinking they tested this mechanism thoroughly before letting people on :yay2:

Thanks

this is an awesome shot. faved it because it is really fabulous...i love how the people look encapsulated as if a time bubble... that is further enhanced by the rain drops.

Thanks bonbon, and thanks for the fav :hug:

Yes, it does look kinda odd, seeing people in glass pod suspended from air almost.

You're welcome. :hug:

Well, that copycat's the reason this got fav'd. It's a very cool detail.

Thank you and thanks for the fav :smile:

Well, I had plenty of time of getting to see photo ops like this, because the wheel turns pretty slowly :razz:

Thanks buddy, and thanks for the fav *man* :hug:

You know, I never would have thought that this shot would turn out as *gag* popular as it seems to be, because at that time I just saw a fun shapshot :smile:

I like this for so many reasons
1. The raindrops on the window, adding mood to this beauty.
2. The greyscale, which also enhances the mood.
3. The overview of the Thames.
4. The activity, even though the people are confined in the pod...they are taking photos, oohing-ahhing.

Beautiful, dear Rene. :hug:

Thanks Lorri, your extensive comment and the fav mean a lot :hug:

In hindsight the weather being the way it was really was a blessing in disguise :nod:

Otherwise I would have not been able to capture this particular mood. Yes, it was fun looking at the pod behind us, seeing the same reactions as I saw in our pod :smile:

Yes, it was a blessing in disguise.

Have a nice rest of your Friday. :hug:

You know~ this shot is as near to allegorical photography as I've seen.

Metaphor.

Symbolism.

& technically your skill is spot on.

Remarkable, Rene :smile:

It's an intelligent shot.

One that does not treat it's audience like a bunch of morons incapable of independent thought. It does not fill in or attempt to beat over the heads of viewers all the blanks of human activity ~ like all very smart work does.

But few have the inter-personal werewithall to pull off.

*Impressive!*
