every time i think of getting a wide angle lens i search the shots taken..and i stare at this and think i want that one..so imagine my shock when i discovered this wasn't in my favs..
i don't understand me...
I love this, it makes me ache for home in ways I can't really explain. Pulls me in and leaves me wistfully soaring with the birds, excellent job.
Edit to add: Not that I am from your part of the world, but that I grew up living on water and spent years of time sitting at the end of a dock like this one writing and swimming and drawing...
I didn't know this was your image...the image is strong..I like the line of the dock leading your eye directly into the middle of the image, also the b&w gives it a simplicity of message. You were wise also to use a slow shutter speed to allow the gulls to suggest flying birds; perhaps they are the spirits.
Well, I still don't like the border too much but I completely disagree with the rule of thirds idea. The power of the composition lies in its current placement. Should have score higher...
I suspect maay won't like it, but I always find that this depth of border adds a certain sophistication to a shot. There is some capture of mood here, and ths lishgtly unorthodix composition is well done, and effective.
This is a nice capture but the compostion with the walk way ending in the middle throws me off. I think hitting the walkway at the end of one of the rule of third spots would have made this shot even better. (7)
The sky is too much burnt out to white and if it wasn't this photo would be great. It's not bad, but this burnt out sky is dragging the photo down. Maybe you should have pointed your camera more down, so the horizon line wouldn't be cutting the photo in half as it is. I like how the pier is placed in it and the birds are adding very much. I like the big white frame, no matter what others may say about it.
I love the boarder and the vertical orientation of the photo. The slight movement in the birds helps the stillness caputred in dock and freezing the motion of the water. I also like the selection of black and white. Great photo. Keep it up!
One of my favorite shots of this challenge. Love the composition and DOF. Only thing that stands out to me as a negative is the bird on the left. Wish it was in focus just a little bit more.
