.9 7ish am, 5.6 @1/800 ISO 100 Serendipitous shot..no time to do much adjusting. I like how the bottom of the clouds held their value.  |

I like the clouds and the reflection, the building works well on the horizon and just off centre, pity you weren't a bit quicker as the bird would had been so much better about a third in from the right as it would had balanced with the building nicely.

I actually gave consideration to moving his silly butt over. He landed, paddled over and sat still for a minute. I had to shoot this handheld as I'd just taken the camera off the tripod.

Even with a .9 you've managed to keep a believable balance between the clouds and their reflection. So many times I see images where the clouds are rendered as almost black and then the cloud reflection is almost white and fluffy! I call it the Blade Runner look. |

I may have been tempted to go with the .6 save for the middle band of sky/clouds between the upper bunch and the water. I thought I'd lose that to over-brightness.

Just had a go with moving the pelican...not sure I like the intensified clouds, but wanted to give it a go.  |
