Claude, I have time for 2 sentences---I came here way late, as commitments suddenly piled on. But for now---this is exquisite! Beautiful light, beautiful detail, the reflections are mirror-clear and so white, and the grit on the buildings and railing, etc, are equally wonderful. More soon, but I had to say at least something about this! Good luck with your move---hope you aren't going crazy with it by now! It's no fun task...Just know, this is a terrific shot!

I said I would add more to this (hope you get it, since it's a comment on a comment). The water is like molten metal, it's so clean and clear. The surrounding walls are encrusted with age, soot, mold, etc, and you bring it out vividly. The wall of that one house---with blue shutters (and I'm speaking of the wall that faces us, not the river)---is wonderfully caught with all that aging discoloration. The perspective lines are dramatic and sweeping. You gave us a little pathway on the right, to ground us in "both sides". And the back is a small bridge with a huge blanket of beautiful yellows and greens above. With a stark white sky (I assume you had something to do with that, and it's a terrific choice, along with the stunning whites on the water). Everytime you shoot a town over water, you become a grand poet. This is but one example, and it's a doozy...I've already fav'd this, so I can't do it twice. But it's sterling silver, Claude, a visual jewel.
