A few from Piccadilly Circus

Whilst up in the Westend the other night I took these, made a nice change from the usual motor photography:-

Wasn't really sure what I was after so these are best of a bad lot but has given me some ideas for when I get back down there.

C&C welcomed,

Thanks

Was about 8/9pm and I guess I just got lucky, stood at the top and only had to wait a min for the stairs to clear.

For #2 & #5 I dropped the saturation, increased blacks/clarity/vibrance, also upped contrast.

For #4 not too much, increased contrast/blacks, upped vibrance a little and then applied a exposure gradient from top left to bottom right to colour the sky.

No not at all (wouldn't have the front to do that), like I mentioned I guess I just got lucky.

Been messing around with a few of the images I originally rejected:-
