Interesting shot, and very interesting location. Focus is good, clarity good, but the sky is a bit grainy, which I will attribute to the jpg format. I particularly like the reflection in the nearest building. Could you possibly get a closer shot of that one building and it's reflection. Like this one, overall.

Basically a nice shot - though I wonder how many people will understand about the flood barrier. shame about the cranes - especially when the barrier depends on those clean lines for it's look. And the border's too harsh for me - I'd much rather see one colour only, find this black/white distracting.

What are those? They look like big bird houses.

Excellent colour, light and focus. Good choice of subject too with good framing. Only criticism - seems lightly off-level. 9 - floyd

i like the slight reflections in the water. :) The sky is looking a little odd though..

Too much murky water, not enough beautiful sky

I'd shift the whole viewpoint over to the right somewhat. Good light, colour and clarity, though.

I've seen these somewhere before... Don't think they'll do well, as most won't get the connection. Nice color and lighting though.
