However, perfect reflections are one occasion where it pays to break with tradition.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nOnce again a long exposure in the order of 60 seconds has been utilised.  This has allowed the slight movement of water in the dock to gently blur the still reflection.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nFor me this softer reflection really works, reaffirming which section of the image requires the viewers attention.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n","photographer":"","width":400,"id":5439139,"height":342,"takendate":"","payment_groups_id":"","server_id":1,"link":"photo_5439139.html","src":"LIV-0071D-Salthouse-Dock-The-Pumphouse-and-Liver-Buildings-at-Night-Liverpool1.jpg","home":0,"purchase_instruction":"","galleries_id":307121,"gallery":0});
