Canal Basin 2, a photo from Leicestershire, England

Photographer's Note

The £13m regeneration of Loughborough Canal Basin, lead by British Waterways (BW) and contractor William Davis Ltd, was officially opened in October 2007. The architects for the buildings were Metz Architects with the public plaza area designed by munro + whitten.

The development, which was started in spring 2006, has seen the creation of a vibrant public area combining expanded water space with a reshaped canal basin to enable better boat access, public plaza, student accommodation, improved boater facilities and bar/restaurant units. The Basin restaurant, which opened in July, is already proving popular.

I have posted another image of this place in a workshop with a very different POV.

Hello Marion,
Good vertical framing, nice natural colors.
I like the geometrical pattern of roofs in harmony with orientation of clouds, and the reflections on th canal.
Good job!
Best Regards,
Engin.

Hello Marion,

I think you've discovered a whole new World of photography now, what with all these lovely reflections you're posting!

This is a beautifully composed shot, the edge of the tall green building lying right on the right vertical dividing line of thirds. The contrasts are excellent and strong as are the lovely well saturated colours. The reflections are just stunning and you've also caught an amazing sky too.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

P.S. Just one tiny thing - you must have rotated this one slightly in processing because you've left a tiny sliver of black background at top right. :o)

but i love the colors, the reflections, the style and the unique post.
