I love reflection shots like this, beautifully clear picture.

What would we do had it not been for those amazing medieval architects, stone masons and builders. Scenes like this are a dream for photographers. Glad to see that you have taken in the whole scene in this well composed shot. I always make the mistake of isolating the main subject instead of showing it in the context of its surroundings.

Sobering factoid : all the main European cathedrals were begun and completed (excluding later additions) in the same century - apparently the labour involved meant that at least a QUARTER of Europe's population was involved at some point in the building.

Nice one - I really like the balance of the actual building and the reflection in the tranquil water.

Yes I am very pleased with this shot however local photographers have done this image almost to death.....

A beautiful tranquil image of it JH, I have only ever seen it from the other side  and then there was scaffolding around it, knowledge of the area is definitely a advantage .

This Cathedral looks great from a distance but up close the stone work is filthy. There are only about four points in and around the city where you can get a decent image...

I think I'd like to have seen a complete mirror image (reflection) in the water, i.e. about 15-20% extra on the bottom of the picture? Or maybe there was 'stuff' in the way...

If you have seen that much of the Cathedral mirror image I would like to see it.....?
