Was on my way to the Royal Exchange for some Christmas shopping (Fortnum & Mason cookies and mince pies are elite) and loved this perspective so stopped in my tracks and snapped a single shot on my phone before continuing on my way. I love the lines and the layering of the buildings in this, the framing of the roadways, the asymmetry of the lone crane which happens to be parallel at one point with the slope on the Cheesegrater, and the unexpected lens flare of the red traffic lights. No colour grading editing or cropping necessary.
