 I got up at 5 am in the morning to take some pictures of bald eagles. Could not find any so I took pictures of the river instead. The remains of this old dock cought my eye for the strong lines and the anchor point of the high beam.
Used a grad ND filter to balance the sky.

I had trouble finding a defined pattern, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt on this one. This is well framed and has quite a bit of interest.

I like the contrast in this picture!
The focus is clear and the saturation is nice.
Good job!

This shot would have worked well in the fences challenge. Seems to be over exposed though. The shot has good visual balance though.
