- Info The Tower Bridge is a bascule and suspension bridge located in the center of London that crosses the River Thames. Its name is taken from the Tower of London, located nearby and has become an iconic symbol of London. The bridge was built between 1886 and 1894 and has a length of 244 m (800 feet) and the height of the towers is 65 m (213 feet). The 61 m (200 feet) long central span is split into two equal bascules than can be raised 86 degrees to allow the transit of ships. Otherwise the bridge is open to the traffic and to the pedestrians.

- Support great shot, wonderful light & mood! The ugly skyscraper is somewhat annoying - but it's not you to blame --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:29, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support My first thought was "there must be another fine image of it because this bridge is not really the most rarely photographed subject on earth", but I didn’t find a comparable one on Commons. --Kreuzschnabel 11:00, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

- Neutral Great quality. I'm not convinced by the centered composition and especially by the lack of a strong shape because the silhouette is broken by the skyscraper in the background. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 18:27, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
- Question Is there a reason why you've chosen such a wide sky crop and such a tight bottom crop? It looks a bit imbalanced as it currently is. Probably a lower viewpoint had framed the skyscraper in the background perfectly inside the tower-bridge. Everything else is nice: Quality, red ship crossing the bridge, sky formation, light, colors. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:07, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- Tuxyso: I actually aimed to give to the nice sky a more relevant role in the composition, than just a background (I was lucky lots of clouds in that direction but still sunlight). If I remember well I looked for a lower shot (I was on a pier and could just bend down), but the result was worse (more irritating) since the Leadenhall building was just "scratching" the lower border ot the top platforms of the bridge.
