These photos look great, but I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly why.

The Barbican certainly looks better here than from what I remember of seeing it through the naked eye.

Good camera + good lens + good photographer + good processing.

Photography is a deeper, more subtle art than a lot of people realize. Two people can take a picture in the exact same location and time and get wildly different results.

It’s hard to explain just how nice Leica lenses can be in the right hands. There is a reason they have a cult like following.
