Gorgeous - wish I'd taken it!  What was the shutter speed for that one - about 1/2 sec?

I have to agree with the previous posters, this is a lovely image.

I like the use of contrast, of shapes and tonality. The balance works very well.

And it's one of the very, very few wide angle images I see that actually justifies a wide angle; too often, people use a wide angle to capture too much, but this time it really makes the image.

But I do keep wondering if it wouldn't work even better if you cropped off a bit both sides. Or woiuld that make it "too perfect"?

Very well done, my eye travels easily across the image, enjoying all that it sees. A great shot that I would be proud to have shot.
