Nice, some colors look a bit too saturated to me and pic 7 pity the boat with the lights is so small I wouldve made that boat a more prominent subject.

I was shooting in the golden hour so things tend to be more vibrant at that time It's possible that the greens are a little strong in no2, but as far as no 7 is concerned, I wasn't aiming for a shot of the boat but a wide shot with the clouds reflected in the water.

The interesting thing about canal water is that it is still, but actually moving quite quickly:

This is a 1.6 s exposure, the lines you can se are objects in the water being moved along by the movement of it, yet it is still like a mirror...
