In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
-Paul Simon

At first glance I thought this was an extension of a stage and the guy was performing some type of act (e.g., comedy). I thought that it captures well the reaction and isolation of a performer who is just not connecting with his audience. I thought that this is truly when you really do hear the "sound of silence" and it can be deafening.
However, I think your photo has a similar theme and even though the person on the end of the pier isn't performing for an audience, he is hearing the "sound of silence."
nice idea, good photo
congratz on your 3rd place
i only wish that pier is not so iluminated but with 25 seconds exposure i don't know who to get rid of that, nevertheless excellent work
Not to take anything away from this, because I love the shot, but is it just me that thinks it looks a little like the model is peeing into Lake Michigan? :)
