Beautiful color of the water, nice silhouette. I wonder how a vertical would look/work? Thank you for sharing, Colin.

Hi Colin. Yes...the colours on the water make this one for me. Happy new year from Brisbane!

Very pretty. I really like the colors and patterns in the water. This has all the elements of a top notch shot for me.

Beautiful colors. I also wonder about a vertical, but it might loose too much of the color on the water.

I like the composition as is, but I would not be opposed to seeing a version with the water a touch brighter overall. You did really well!

Thanks for the comments. The crop is quite small so not enough room for vertical, I would have needed to shoot vertical which didn't occur to me as I was concentrating on the exposure to best bring the colors out while making sure it was a true silhouette. Here's one slightly brighter Dan, brightness +15 contrast +25.
