[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have just spent a week in Norwich on a training course, but managed to find time most evenings to get out for a couple of hours for some photography.

This is a shot taken from one of the bridges across The River Wensum, in the north of the city, with the Catherderal spire in the background. It was taken about 6pm, just as the sun broke through for a few minutes.

I'm still getting to grips with both my new Leica D-Lux, and the Nikon, but am very pleased with them both so far. The Leica has this really useful 16:9 format, which is great for landscapes

Hi Andy,
What a wonderful shot with wonderful line of colorful buildings, amazing water reflection and wonderful cloudly blue sky.
Did you use any post processing here?

Best Regards,
Alex

You have some sun at last! That's good, would have been a shame to miss out on this opportunity from rain. Wonderful composition and colours, looks like Belgium or Holland.

Hi, Andy,
Very nice place and nice reflection of the houses in the water.. You have a great POV. Colours are not aggressive. As to the clouds and sunlight, you've been lucky to benefit of both.Framing's very nice, too.

Nice Sunday

Hi Andy,

Great POV and striking reflection.

Hi Andy,

I've been reading your profile and I have to say you got good taste in equipment!! I also went for the D200 as my new camera about a year ago and also bought a Panasonic Lumix Leica LX2 - being the same camera as the Dlux 3. You have really great taste! But one question; When do you use the Dlux 3? I don't use it often enough. Really. I thought I would, but I mostly drag my old Sony R1 along (allthough it's big) or just the D200...

I am in that sense really surprised with the quality you are showing here! Maybe I haven't practiced enough with my LX2. Any tips?! :-)
The colours in your shot are just wonderful. The sharpness is great! Very pleasing composition with the diagonal of the houses and the clouds. Really nice shot.

Greetings! Dennis

Hi Andy,
Great shot, good colours and sharpness, great reflection and POV

Hi Andy, This is a very nice picture with a good POV and vivid colors . The reflection in the water is also well taken and it is very sharp . Thanks for sharing .

Hi Andy,
What a striking colourful picture. The reflections are superb and so is the perspective. The presentation inthe white frame works fine too. I've visited Norwich several times but I didn't see this part of the town, thanks for showing me.

I just thought I'm watching a classical fairy tale while watching this image. Great colors and cloudy sky.

Very well done Andy.
