Nice shots and the buildings will be superb when there finished I've seen some changes in 25 years living in Spain but nothing like these,

Fantastic scene of modern architecture under construction.
Just a slight note of criticism though, the highlights have burned out a bit on the lightest coloured tower. It would strengthen the picture if it was toned down a bit.

Absolutly correct with the burn out. I'll need several visits to asses correct exposure settings. An issue here is that the glass skinning is a virtuel mirror.

Too far from a shore.

One way I try to get round blown highlights Gary is to under expose. My K10 is usually set at a third of a stop under, but sometimes I vary that and go down even lower depending on conditions. In PS you can always lift an under exposed picture but you can't bring back burned out highlights.
