Got up quite early this morning.....but it was worth it.

I was fortunate in that the paving was wet - some lovely colour reflection.

Taken with the 18-55MKII F8 (hand held).

looks good to me, but think I would tone down the light on the left as it pulls my eye away from the bridge.

Lovely colours. I think you're right, the wet pavestones make this shot.

Thanks Nielr for that comment - you are right it does draw the eye a tad, I will have to sort that out.

Cheers for the other comments chaps.

I wasn't keen on it till I seen it at full size great shot, but agree about the lamps on the left.

Bob, as said, the wet pavin' stones are nice in this shot.
I feel it would benefit from an 8x10 crop, croppin' out the right side, jus' after that tall tree.
A lot of that space on that side does nothin' for the shot IMO.
