Getaway Car or Getaway Boat?

This photo was taken on one of our land excursions from our European cruise. I absolutely love these cities, where transportation by waterway is almost as common as anything by street. The weather changed so rapidly during the day that most of the sky was covered by clouds later in the afternoon. I have the same shot as I made my way back to the ship. Everything was gray, and there was hardly any blue in the sky three hours later. The time of the photo is Los Angeles date and time.

Photo Date/Time: 10/04/2006, 12:34 AM
Location: Provence, France
Camera: Canon SD700IS
Exposure: 1/400, F5.6, Focal Length 5.8mm, No Flash
Post Processing: Slight Rotation. Cropping.

Future Improvements/Changes: Whites white and darks are dark. This photo looks nice, but there isn’t much going on in it. Those lazy French people weren’t out and about to give action to the photo. I could have used a mime falling into the water. Now that would be dynamic.
