Very nice angle and great use of shadow. I don't feel like the textures are as strong as they could be. Remind me of Yellowstone Ntl Park. I love the mist in the upper right corner.
The straight line of the boardwalk against the curved shadow make this shot! If you want to make it about the mist I think getting closer to the mist would make it stronger. I love it the way it is.
Hmmmm very good shot. I will give a 6 to start because there are many shots in the challenge with very good "texture" in the subject. I like your shot, I can see the texture of the ground on the left and right but no real texture on what seems like the subject, the boardwalk or pier.
I will come back after voting on the rest. This may go to an 8 but I will have to check out others.
I really like this a lot and that's why I had to leave a comment - original composition, a good play of different lines, shadow and forms, the colours are excellent. Just don't think it's very fitting for the challenge.
try flopping this horizontal & see how you like it. The eye tends to go from left to right so it might work better that way. I love how the shadow has a wave like effect in the (water?) very nice image. 9
