This just goes to show it is all about the light...
I was riding to work crossing over Vauxhall Bridge and like I always do I looked to the left and just had to stop my bike and take this. I love the power station, in this day and age of faceless, featureless buildings, this one really says something. This was taken just after sunrise and the light was amazing, gave everything a really pinky glow..
Taken with my Canon S95, I d be interested to hear what I could have done better, and what if any PP could be applied as this is straight out the camera, as is with no work done afterwards...

I think this has great potential and is a lovely shot as it is.
I would add a tiny bit of contrast, a slight warmth in the WB to emphasise the gorgeous sunrise colours and sharpen or add a bit of clarity in LR.

Composition wise, a little straighten, think there is a tiny lean to the right and i wish you'd waited 30 seconds for the boat to come a little closer, you could have had great leading lines from the wake too :)

Im almost ashamed to admit that I was concentrating so much on the powerstation that the boat was a complete accident!!!
Is it possible to straighten photo's after they have been taken?

Thanks for the comments though...
