    Nice shot. Don't think a filter would have added anything, I like it the way it is. Although the spots look more like sensor dirt rather than a dirty lens.

    Thanks - now you've mentioned it - a gradualted filter would have made the water look rather out of place. And it may be about time it got serviced... anyone got any reccomendations on how / where to have this done?

    Love the first shot by the way - sitting in a very dry office and it's got my head thinking humid lush forest... mmmm

    I dunno, I think a 0.3 or 0.6 ND grad would've helped you, maybe creating a reverse grad so that the darker area is closer to the horizon (use a 0.9 and 0.3 grad, with the latter upside down and overlapping the former, so that you get a darker area in the middle rather than at the top). I find that the image has much more impact when the light differential between the sky and its reflection in the water is much smaller.

    Love the last one, if I was being really picky I'd was your vantage piont to be about three feet to the left so the U-Turn sign didn't blend in with the white verticals quite so much, aside from that - love the composition!

    Thanks :) The reason I couldn't go left was because I was already on the left edge of the sidewalk. And this building is opposite the cop station :p

    Thanks! It was cold as hell on the deck, so windy it was hard to walk and I really wondered what on earth am I doing there, but I'm quite happy with that pic :)
