Thank you everyone for your nice comments. Actually I left the lens distortion, on purpose to enhance the wide angle effect. This is the first time I got to use an 828 and I must say it's a fabulous camera, I borrowed it from my Partner, who I think is going to buy a DSLR, so it looks like I'll get to use it more and more.... I can't wait..........Penelope

Penelope, stunning night shot rich in color and detail. The overall composition ever so satisfying, the reflections sparkling, and the swans are the bubbles in the champagne. -Michael Puff

Penelope, this is an outstanding low light shot and a beautiful composition. The refection is nicely captured and I love how the swans are highlighted by the available light. My only suggestion (and its minor) would be to adjust the perspective as the building appear leaning a bit from the lens distortion -- a simple adjustment in Photoshop. Bravo on a fine catch. - LC

Beautiful night scene, Penelope...very nice lighting, clarity, and reflections. The white ducks/swans are a great bonus. MFC

Penelope. I love everything on the shot, the perfect exposition, the bell tower, the channel reflections, the swans and the overall serenity sensation. Looking to your picture I regret I did not spend a night at Brugges. Jesus (JesusV).
