I really felt like I missed a great opportunity here. The sun was setting to my left and the light quality was superb. I had less than 10 minutes at this spot as I was on my way to an appointment. I switched lenses and camera positions and tried to work the scene as best as I could in that small amount of time. I didn't have a tripod, so I couldn't slow things down too much (to use the water movement as an element). I am not completely happy with the outcome. This is one of those times where you catalog the place and time of day and make plans to come back another time.

Hi Mike, it's still a very nice image and still quite a nice quality of golden light and reflections on the walls and the surface of the water.
I think time contraints is a massive inhibition of being creative. If I know I have to be somewhere I usually don't get very good images. I like to go out without a specific time where I need to be back or be somewhere else, or at least have an hour or two available to explore and look for things. That said I also think it's a great idea to make the most of the day and having a camera available, even if it's just 10 minutes. It's all practice and accordingly to Malcolm Gladwell we need to put in 10,000 hours to become experts at our what we do.
Like you said, it's a location to come back to and try more things. You could probably also get in close and make some of your beautiful abstracts.
