Unbelievably beautiful with piles in the water and buildings in the background, light and soft in there shooting, I like very much.

I love that the buildings are mere shadows and that the mere posts are the main event.

Blimey, Michael, I'm fast running out of superlatives for your amazing photographs. This is simply stunning.

@EYES WIDE SHUT: Thanks, Paul. That's such an uplifting comment.

Wonderful light and limited colour, the posts like water-borne sculpture, make this really striking.

Great capture and better compo. I think that a little less exposure maybe it'll be better ??

Wow there is a Silver Lining after all, took my breath away again Michael, your photos bring back all the passion for photography I hold in my heart

@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine. That is delightful to hear.
@MadScientist: Thank you, MS. That is kind. I had problems with this one and I think it is quite far from perfect.
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
and please be reassured that I am never ever glib about any photos I view, emotions overflow when I look at outstanding photography, always, and nothing would incite glib in me over your photos :)

@Lorraine: Many thanks, Lorraine. Perhaps glib isn't the right word but you have always had an enviable writer's way with words.

The light on the water is just beautiful, and I love the hint of color. Excellent!

Beautifull silhouettes against a soft background. Top-class photo.

I had problems with this one and I think it is quite far from perfect. - I really like it, the silhouettes of the buildings in the backgrounds and the blinding reflections make me think of a hot and shimmering day.

Very nice shot Michael. Sometimes that haze acts like a pest..sometimes works in our favour..like here.

This is, indeed, a superb image and I love that misty depth. I wonder, though, if cropping just below that cross-member might be less distracting of the objective. Come to think of it, you could fill a galley with different ace versions of this same image !
