Thanks Lee, this is still a work in progress, so I could well do some more angled shots. I'm starting to like 'em myself, now.

I saw this in your multi-image composition and this one stood out. It has a thrilling angle and is nearly a perfect shot in my eyes. The only thing i would change, and it is very very minor, is to clone out the antenna in the bottom right corner. Other than that, this is a shot that would make a fantastic print! ;-)

Comment by Tranquil:
There are two things that stand out in this image to me... the framing and the blue sky. The framing draws your eyes towards the subject and that works very well. However, the deep blue of the sky is that makes a flat image turn to a presentably one. Very nicely done.

Dave, this is a wonderful composite. I really would not change anything to this as it is really well done. Next time that you do something like this.. try experimenting with something like making each boat at a diagonal angle in each corner. It would just make it a little bit more exciting. Very nice colors and charming. Thanks for sharing.

I would have liked to have seen a much closer shot of this. The sky and water hold no real interest on this day, but the intricacy of the building itself could have. I also think the dead centered composition detracts from the appeal of this image. Good luck.

I can see the lines as well and they do distract.

However, the angles and lines give my eyes lots to do and it makes me interested in the subject. I like the little tad of background image we have - the other boats, water, shoreline - which add to the overall feel of the picture.

I like contrasty black and white shots, so I would bump it +7 or so contrast, just to get that feel to it, but overall I like the image a lot.

Hard to miss that landmark. Is the sky meant to have a green cast to it?

image overall is a bit on the dark side, needs lightening and some contrast adjustment imo
