Owing to the amount of response to this image, I though I would make a few additional comments. This was shot on a late summer night in Oban it had been an awful day and had rained all day. Having given up on the days photography I went into Oban for dinner, after which just on impulse I decided to have a shot at some night photography as I had never tried it before. This was one of the results. Apart from the rather unusual reflection effects from the sky in the water, I felt it was a rather average image and more or less ignores the rule of thirds (that wasnt really possible due to obstacles) I decided to use it for the challenge only because of the long exposure rather than its overall appearance, although it is quite pleasing on the eye and maybe a little unusual I didnt really expect it to attract much attention. I seem to be wrong (so much for what I know) he he! The thing that amazes me about photography is that now and then something that I feel is average gets lots of attention whilst images that I think are great attract much less, what a diverse bunch we are.
