I discovered this Koi artwork yesterday during a lunchtime walk to Trinity Buoy Wharf, walking along Orchard Place, just off the Thames Path (NE extension) - the artwork is suspended in a small gap between two warehouses - while I have run down here on quite a few occasions, I had not noticed this before.  I don't know for sure, but I am guessing that this is a collaboration with the Art College that is located on Trinity Buoy Wharf.

The history of the area is staggering - on Orchard Place, there are a number signs that detail various aspects of the history of Trinity Buoy Wharf and the East India Docks (of which only a small part is still visible as the nature reserve - the rest having been filled in and built upon) - it must have been quite a sight in it's hey day!

Post processing involved the usual initial settings from the 'Start' preset - used the vivid nikon profile and adding a slight graduated filter towards the top of the picture - lightened some areas, notably some of the brickwork and where the graduated filter overlapped the top of the fish.  I exported to Nik Software Viveza 2 to boost the colours and use the 'structure' slider - and the results are great.  Cropped in Lightroom and added slight vignette.
