I've been in Plymouth for work all this week and managed to take a walk with a camera one evening.
This was on a building near the lighthouse on the Hoe. Composing was difficult due to the shape of the sculpture and all the incidentals that were around it (limited viewpoints,ugly building and birds in all directions). I have many different views both vertical and horizontal that just don't work for one reason or another and I dare say this one will be too tight for most viewers.

Hi Robert,
After reading the title, I was expecting to see a huge fish surrounded by gulls and guess what, it's not what I expected
As already mentioned, it's a little tight, but the quality light certainly makes up for that.
