Looks very good, I think you definately captured it from the most interesting angle. Cant imagine it would look quite soo dramatic from any other view.

Like the composition - the way it leads into the shot from the corner, cutting across and then meeting another subject.

Thanks for sharing

Very well caught GfK ... agree with Warspite !

Personally not sure about the edge of building bottom right ... would look heaps cleaner cloned or cropped out imo ? Without losing the effect of the rest of the shot though !

TFS...

I don't like to Photoshop stuff out unless its absolutely necessary, and I stood looking at this shot through the viewfinder for several minutes before I actually took it, for exactly this reason.

This thing actually bridges a canal, though, so I couldn't really get a better angle without falling in.

I agree with Venomator.

There is a better crop to be had here.
Still a great shot, and for getting it.

Canals aren't usually that deep, so you could have gone for that better angle.

Definately improved it (agree about chopping shots unless necessary - but in this case I think its worth it).

Of course it was already a good shot to start with

Agreed about photoshopping things out unless absolutely necessary. I do like the shot though. Great.
