This has an almost 3D look to it with the motion of the clouds and the water surrounding the static buildings. I like this very much and my only small nit would be the brightness of the white building. Well done.

I love the strong contrast between the sharp lines & details of the buildings and the soft sky and water. The clouds and reflections add great interest, as well. Tonal range is wonderful.

This is an excellent black and white. Your exposure and processing are right on--from black blacks to white whites. Many would say that that's what back and white is all about. Your composition is spot-on, too. It's one of those photos that I wish I had taken.

This is another of those astounding shots where nothing seems to have moved at all in almost six minutes. Excellent exposure. And to convert to B&W gives it great impact. Good work.

Thanks. And I'm glad you liked it better than the last one of this type that I posted.

Thanks. Every once in a while everything turns out as planned.

Thanks. All it takes to spoil it is bunch of debris floating by or a moving crane.

That is a lot of seconds. I'm not seeing any lights in the buildings so I'm assuming this was not taken at night. Did you use a ND filter to enable such a long exposure? I really like the shot. Movement in the sky is awesome and the creamy water works well in this composition.

Thanks Erich.
Taken at 9:42 AM; two ND filters (10 stops + 6 stops).

Surely, if something goes by fast enough the long exposure eradicates any sign of the offending item? Wonderful photograph and, as John said, one I should like to have taken.
