Day 172 - I've looked at clouds

I'm pleased with the horizontal balance of this photograph of Fredericton's north side, taken from the shores of the St. John River at the city's downtown.

I like the way the frame is divided into thirds: clouds, city and river, with its line of bridge supports. I am pleased especially with the drama of the top layer. We've had some pretty amazing days lately, with warm temperatures, high winds and dramatic skies and these clouds are some of the best we've seen. In this photo, it almost looks like I added them later.

No tricks here. Just a wide open aperture, a decently fast shutter speed and some care in creating the composition.
