You have an amazing eye for composition! And again, I must compliment you on your tones...love the sky and it's intensity!

@bluechameleon: You're too kind. If my pics would only convey half the message and beauty of yours, I'd be a happy man :-)
But thank you very much for the nice compliment. It's very sweet.
the tones are great, not only for there range but also for the detail that is in them. the sky with the clouds, the water with the ripples, and the buildings with the windows. That with the composition makes for a great photo!!

@Isaac: thank you very much, Isaac. I was in Firenze a couple of weeks ago and it's a beautiful city with lots of opportunities for taking pictures. So more to come in the near future, both monochromatic and color. Thank you for the visit.
I have looked at this shot several times and I am drawn to it every time...great tone...cloud detail...and a composition that pulls you up river. I might have straightened the verticals left and right but this is great work nevertheless.

@Ted: what a nice compliment :) Thank you so much, Ted. Concerning the vertical lines: this is caused by my preference for wide angle shooting..with a tendency to overdoing it. I know I should be able to straighten these with postprocessing but haven't come to that yet. I just picked up a camera since this year. Never shot a photo in my life before that :-) Thank you for the visit and feedback!
