Nice postcard like shot, but, imo, with a twist: the boat that nicely collides with all the modernity in the background. Well composed. And I really like the graininess.

rgds,

Hello my friend!

ok, probably going to make myself unpopular again - not for the first time :-)

I'm giving this one point on the basis of the overall photographic skill and knowledge involved - scanning from negatives, using the Rollie - very impressive and this site is for learning about photography.

But...to the image itself....

I think the line of the bridge is too central. The boat is good, so maybe a little of the sky could have been cropped out. Plus, it's a little "postcardy", a bit of a tourist snapshot. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, of course - many of mine are like that! But, I think the thought and inventiveness isn't as high as your normal standards....

Sorry...!

The boat adds good movement to the static buildings... good capture

WOW! you scanned from a negative?? You are WAY more informed than I am about this stuff! Nice shot, that building looks like a turtle!
B-)

Nice architectural shot with the buildings contrasting so well with the water and the sky. I like the detail of the boat, especially with the guy taking a picture of you!
Thanks for sharing
