Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is such a lovely shot. So quiet and serene, the fisherman with his cormorants, the sun and its reflection offering the only colour in a naturally desaturated capture. They balance beautifully against the willow(?) branches on the right framing the awkward skyscrapers leaning towards each other. The contrast of old and new is very powerful here so I am not surprised you finished just out of the top 10 in this challenge. Very well-seen shot and so glad that other photographer made room for you! Your son must have been very well behaved! :-) The pp you did is virtually invisible, good work.

Gorgeous work, please keep shooting and entering what you like. Just be careful, no watermarks or copyrights are allowed on any entries and may lead to a disqualification on that basis alone.

Feel free to PM me,

Susan

I'd rather look at this one than any other picture in the challenge - including my own. Beautiful.

Sooo close to Top Ten. Yet still... nothing to be ashamed of with this wonderful image!

Somewhat reminiscent of Claude Monet's "Impression Sunset". Interesting shot.

Those details are stunning, and you have nicely grayed out the whole image. Stunning work.
