It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I actually rather like this but if you want me to be picky...
Firstly, I am guessing you de-fished a fish eye? There is still some curvature to the buildings visible, e.g. on the very right hand edge. Secondly, I find the very bright light on the left hand side just a bit too dominating. My eye is immediately pulled over to it, and I have to force myself to enjoy the details elsewhere in the image.
As I say, I rather like it, but you wanted us to be picky!
Best wishes, Kris.

I don't like beating, so I'm not going to say anything.
For what it's worth: there's too muck black in the foreground for my liking, so I'd probably crop it a bit and I don't much like the flare(?) on the left. It's drawing too much attention.

At the first look I liked it but then, you asked for harsh criticism. It seems to be a bit empty. I'm not sure how to explain it, it's not about details, but just a black, even space in the middle (both sky and water) - no reflexes, no single wave, nothing. It might have been the idea though.
Also the way the buildings edges bend - effect mentioned by Kris above - looks unusual.
But, as I said, generally I like it Try something worse

HDR, B&W, Lens correction... a lot of work, and I am not sure what to think of it. Haven't posted in a while, so really need some beating on this one
