Vancouver - BC Canada

This is a recent image from a trip to my hometown of Vancouver BC. I have seen this subject shot but I treaded around in the early morning hours looking for a new perspective. I tell you there are a lot of scary people out at 3 in the morning and I had to wait this long to get no traffic in the water which would have ruined the reflections.To get the calm water and sharp reflection I added a 5-stop ND to increase the exposure quite a bit plus some mid-tone contrast in post processing.
