Hi Rob, looks like your first upload, so welcome.
Its quite a decent shot. The camera had to deal with a very wide dynamic light range and did as well as it could with it. There are overblown areas in the sky with no detail, but overall youve captured the scene.
It might benefit being a little warmer, as with a warming filter (Photoshop) to enhance the colour (is there a Landscape mode on the camera?) and cropping, with some highlights toned down, and shadow lifter slightly to see the near building could help. That water spray on the left, if a feature, might have been placed 1/3 the way in from the left, - it look like its not used as a focal point here.
Ive uploaded a mod with warming filter, highlight.shadow adjusted and a crop.
Regards
Willie
Hi all
Thank you very much for the kind comments, glad you like it!
Willie, thank you for the great advice & also the mod; I only have GIMP at present, but I'll work on the image some more to see how much I can improve it. Good point re the fountain; I wanted to pull it in to the shot but never gave a thought about using it as a focal point!
Paul, thank you, great advice also; afraid I only have a compact bridge camera at the moment which is very limited in what can be done manually (certainly more so than I thought!) although I'm sure I could limit the exposure as you say.
Thanks again
Rob
