I was walking across Princes Bridge this morning as the sun came up over the Yarra. The sky was clear, which meant I got this beautiful, deep reflection of shimmering gold across the surface of the river. But I waited about ninety seconds for the kayakers to enter the frame. I composed this shot very quicky and very deliberately, because I wanted you to see the reflection of the sun first and then to say: ``Oh, yeah, there's something else in the picture.'' Olympic rowers and kayakers are a part of the city's early-morning culture, so this is as typical a Melbourne shot as you'll get. I'm sure you can see why I wanted the kayakers not to dominate the frame, but to be a subtle add-on.
