horizon...

A couple of things.

1) the horizon is slightly off but that's easily fixed with a processing program. I spend a fair whack of my life doing that.

2) I don't know if you shot this originally in colour and converted afterwards but I'm not really sure about the shade balance. The shot is coming across as slightly over exposed - there's a major lack of detail in the water where the sky is reflected and I think if you did convert, you might want to have upped the contrast a little before converting. The edge of the wharf is coming over as a bit overexposed as well.

3) I like the subject of the photograph - however, what I would have done (probably) if I had been there on the occasion was dropped down on my knees and taken the photograph from a lower angle. I might also have taken one portrait rather than landscape to capture some sky in the shot if possible.

These are just my views on it - I have to say that I might have just not taken the photograph at all because in many ways sometimes I just don't notice the extraordinary in the ordinary around me, particularly in Dublin. Seeing this photograph would cause me to reappraise how I look at that area (Ringsend-ish I would think, right?) and that is a very positive feature in a photograph.
