Potential not realised

Sometimes you can see a photograph but the circumstances of that instant prevent you from realising the potential of the shot. This view of the River Wye, the medieval bridge and Hereford Cathedral, is one that I have attempted to capture before. But on that occasion, as was the case when I took this shot, all the stars were not aligned. To properly succeed this photograph requires the sun to be in a different position so that the bridge and the cathedral are better modelled by shadows. One day I'll be in the city when that is the case. However, the sky, the water and the trees were working hard for me so I'm not completely dissatisfied by the shot.
