[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This barge has just come over the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct on the Llangollen Canal, Denbighshire, Wales.It is situated just outside the town of langollen in Wales (a popular holiday destination).
Llangollen takes its name from Saint Collen (from the Welsh llan meaning 'church' and gollen meaning Collen), a 6th century monk who founded a church beside the river there.[1] St Collen is said to have arrived in Llangollen by coracle. As there are no other churches in Wales dedicated to St. Collen, it is possible that this St. Collen may also have connections in both Colan, Cornwall and Langolen, Brittany.

Standing high above the town to the north is Castell Dinas Bran, the former stronghold of the Princes of Powys. Beyond the castle is the limestone escarpment known as the Eglwyseg Rocks. The outcrop continues north to the area known as World's End. The area nearest to the castle is the Panorama Walk, and a monument to local poet I.D. Hooson (from the nearby village of Rhosllanerchrugog) can be found there.

very nice scene Dvid good colours and pov i might have been inclined to remove theoverhead wire by cloning rather than croping it just mho bit a good shot neverless tfs

Nice view, good to keep the reflection of the narrowboat in - at first I thought that maybe a crop along the bottom would work but actually I like the way you've kept the full frame!

Good contrast - not easy to get when you're shooting into the sun..

Hi David

Good fg sharpness & reflections, with the people providing scale. Perhaps I'd boost contrast in the hazy bg? Excellent colour & framing. Have a nice weekend!

HI David..nice shot..great details and light...nicely composed.

Hi David,

One of the things I like best about TL is seeing sights that I'll probably never get to in real life. Thanks for sharing your travels with us.

This is a difficult shot from a lighting perspective, but you've done a good job. Your framing is very good.

Best regards,
Werner

Hi David,
Awesome shot, the boat is almost camouflaged against the water! :). I like the sharpness here, don't even get me started about the awesome looking scenery in the background. Provides such a great backdrop. Good job mate.

TFS,
Scott.
