In my opinion the most impressive part of the image is pushed aside... If the anchor were bigger, and more centered, and shot from an angle where some of it extends into the sky so that the eye can catch the contrast of the metal against the pier, as well as against the sky and find a shape immediately, this short would have been much more focused.
It bothers me that the anchor ends on the shoreline, but not exactly, and I also do not see the reason for so much of the water - being cut off on the other side it does not convey a great depth, it is neither stormy nor calm, and it's color and texture is very much the same throughout the whole picture.
The rocks on the left also seem to me like they would complement the anchor just as well, if not better than the water.
Moreover, the details of the pier, like the little rocks, and the way the wood is cut, and all that is sort of dampenned because of the size of the subject. |
