beautiful light. The sailboat really adds to the image. The sad thing is I still have no clue what city I'm in. :) 8

I guess I don't get out much because I'm not sure what city this is :)

Great use of light -- the sky adds a lovely touch to the composition... a bit too much water in the foreground as I feel some of the drama you've created with light gets disapated (?spelling) with the duller gray foreground. One of my favorites this challenge. bol

Pretty fine shot - good quality of light, detail seems lacking somewhat - I think that you've either used too high a radius when sharpening or your camera has done that for you (it reminds me of the way my Fuji2800Z shots come out), which gives those light lines around the building edges, and likewise removes details inside the shapes. Given the challenge, and open editing, I'd have thought cloning out the crane would have been good. I also think you've left too much space around the sky-line - whilst the quality in the sky and water is interesting, I don't think you need so much of it, and it makes the sky-line seem incidental to the composition. You have, at least, placed the horizon at a sensible point in frame, which is good. I think it needs more information to excite it, something extra: maybe that boat more in the foreground than it is, but something. Very much on the right lines though, I think.

This is very pretty I love the lighting tone and the sky really adds to this and the light on the water just makes this image
The little white sailing boat is nice so much detail in this very good image Nice work

Really nice shot! Definitely good enough to go on a travel brochure!

Excellent. Maybe a tighter crop lose some of the water and some of the sky.

Gosh - so serene. Composition is perfect - the only minor thing I'd like to do is move the sailboat left over towards the brightly reflected building. Colora re magical. Exposure is dead on in every respect.

Composition is good overall but I think it could be cropped a bit tighter on the bottom as it currently puts the city skyline in the very middle. Color balance is also off with too much red.

Great shot, how on earth did you get that sailboat to cooperate? It really makes the shot!
