Nice shot, Carl. Brillant lights and colours. I like the angle of the shot, too.

Very nice indeed. Good comp, and I love the colours. One minor crit would be the strange way the blue sky is lighter at the top and bottom, probably your CPL at 10mm causing that, but you might be able fix it with a graduated ND filter in Lightroom.

Thanks for all your nice comments guys - and good point Tim - hadn't noticed that but now I can't take my eyes off it!

Strange thing is I have about 10 similar shots and only 2 have this lighter blue effect at the top - may post another without tomorrow!
No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more
