I'll cast another vote for the Sekonic L-308S. I've had one for a year or 2 and really like it - small, simple, robust and reliable, lightweight, fits a shirt pocket. I also have a L-608, but hardly use it now. The L-308S is a much better bet for street photography. -- Bob -Original

Not sure about this. I like the idea of the tower and crane leaning towards each other and that deep blue sky is great. However, the black and white sign on the right is a bit too dominant. I wonder whether the image would be improved by straightening the right edge while leaving the left
