I shot this photo waiting for a boat tour we were taking with family in Copenhagen.  I find within this photo some strong compositional features.  One, the diagonal edge of the dock, or harbour wall, leads the eye up the photo towards the subject.  From the waters edge the shadows from the posts lead the eye into the subject.  Thirdly there is great repetition in the pattern of the cobble stones.  All this works together to draw the eye (or maybe just mine) into the photo.
