beautifully composed, wonderful exposure.
I use to love walking along here. My apartment was right off of the Liffey next to the Ha' Penny bridge. #4951164

John's right, Patricia ~ you should definitely explore shooting more of Dublin's night sights, because your exposure here is as good as your composition. Fine reflections, too.

Such a sad, touching memorial ~ gave me the same feeling as the first time I saw Van Gogh's "The Potato Eaters". Different country - same gaunt features and look of desperation. We are so fortunate to live as well as we do! #4957830
