hey graham -- great shot! love the expanse of water in the foreground and the purple hue of the boat dead center! that is not a color i usually see on boats! :) great lighting and reflection attributes and i love the subtle slant of the mountain in the distance adding a visual diagonal. excellent capture!

@dj.tigersprout: Thank you so much for your comments. Yes, the purple boat was very unusual and was what caught my eye.

Beautiful waterfront scene, Graham ... some hot colors going on down at the waterfront! Looks like there's quite a bit of construction in Cape Town.

@Ron: Thanks Ron. Tons of construction going on in South Africa as we prepare for the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Stadiums, transport infrastructure, hotels are all being built frantically to meet deadlines.

Colorful fishing boats in the harbour. Some new buildings are beeing built.

Nice shot Graham, although I might have framed it so that there was more sky and less sea!

This is a great composition, and the colours and the lighting, even though its a grey day. You really captured this one well.
