Nice use of angles and lines Dan. Also odd that there are no boats docked at all?
If you did 1/80th handheld well done. I battle and use a tripod nowadays.

Did you try taking a few shots at exactly the same spot? i.e. gone low and made the poles look like giants reaching to the sky, this would have lost thier reflection in the water. Gone potrait and landscape. Fiddled with the camera settings and tried Sunlight, Shade, Sport, Building etc to see what came out?

Damn that place looks cold and wet.

This is nice. I wonder if a little more contrast would bring up the white.

Nice quiet sort of picture. I'd say that forward pier blocks my view a bit, but it really doesn't. It in a way invites me to look around it.
