Superb ... scratched my head a few times trying to get a good POV at his location ... you have nailed it perfectly ... great gritty toning on the stone and contrast sharpness in the harbour! ... V

Good framing, Stewart - I like the idea we're keeking through the arch and seeing the harbour beyond...fab tones and textures across the frame, nicely done! LOL@Kevin too!!!

The modern framed by the less modern. Works well and the contrasting tones add emphasis.
