The remains of a burned out and decaying pier on Maryland's Eastern Shore. I came up with the idea of the global warming conspiracy theory first. Went fishing today with my son while on vacation at the beach and the remnants of this old pier just jumped out at me. I had to make it fit my topic idea. Tried to make it look ominous and forboding. Increased contrast slightly, added a slight brown filter to the entire image which only effected the hue of the foreground water. I wanted to bring in a little color to help catch the eye and give a gloomy appearance. I liked the burned out backround. I will be interested to read the comments to see if I was able to express the proper mood that I was going for.

This is a cool abstract. I'd have liked to see it cropped almost to the post on the left, though, to eliminate the blank space on the edge of the frame.
I like the silhouettes and I really like the color treatment on the water. I'm straining a bit with the conspiracy aspect, but overall I like the photo itself.
