Hello Edward,

Some lovely colours and reflections, and a very satisfying composition.

There is a strong lead-in along the side of the quay, and up the steps to the bridge, and the tower stands tall in good contrast to the blue sky.

The walking figure adds a dynamic touch.

However, I am a bit disturbed by the lack of verticality in the tower.

I thought I'd try a WS for you - rotating the image corrects the tower, but the reflection doesn't come right, so I think there is a bit of lens "barrel" distortion at the 18mm you have used on your [zoom?] lens, which needs correcting.

I get this problem with the widest 28mm on my Fuji zoom lens, but there is a neat answer to this problem.

See what you think of my WS.

Regards,

Peter.

PS: I'd very much like you to have added a note to your posting.
