Hi Derek
The biggest aspect that stands out is the cropping. I'm not sure if you were looking to crop as heavily as this either in camera or in PP but for me there is too much water down below and the top of the Eye has been clipped. I also feel more room could have been given on the LHS. On the plus side, its very sharp, crystal clear and the colour is spot on. As this is 800x800 i would say take half the water from below and replace it up top with sky to balance it out if you want to keep the format..

Hi Andy, thanx for the comments I have taken them on board. Sometimes you can look at a picture over and over and not see the mistakes or problems. Then someone comes along and spots them straight away. Thanx again :-)

Hi Derek, Positive comments cracking cityscape extremely sharp image. However would have liked to see the top of the wheel if not all of it. Not sure if you took portrait or landscape as its dead square. Nice one anyway
