Another shot from my recent visit to Sandwich Bay. This has been cropped from horizontal to vertical to improve the composition.

Hi David

Certainly think portrait works better than landscape would, I like the reflection, adds some depth, if it were mine I might clone out the dark object top right - but no big deal

Cheers

Lovely portrait David. Lots of detail and the reflection is a bonus. I agree about the dark blob top left but only a minor niggle.

Excellent - and you know what I think about bloody reflections

Agree about the black 'blob' and I would suggest maybe revisiting this place when the light isn't quite so flat. You have a really nice image here but I think it would raise the bar if you had the same image in the golden hours of sunrise or sunset..
