  Been hanging out by the pier lately huh?
  I like this one the best of your recent pier shots Steve... rich, vivid colors and nice dynamic range/mid tones.
  Long exposure works well to increase surreality.
  Though, my eye would like to see (at least) a 4X6 aspect with the extra space on the left.

  This was actually a shot I intended to enter in a "monthly Assignment" on (*cough fredmirands**cough**) another board and it had a 640 pixel max longest length criteria so it tied my hands a little on the framing. I was following the other entries and I was confident it had a shot and would do well but then the board simply would not upload the pic (despite several attempts from several sources) and I received zero response whatsoever as to why. Ah well so it goes. Thought I'd at least show it somewhere where people knew my work a little. Oh and you're completely correct. It's nicer in 6x4 but small to the eye at 640 px.

  One of these days I'll have to figure out what my "style" is..

  I like it too for the reasons Eric stated. I think it was with ND filter to get long exposure during daylight. I do wonder if angle it was taken can be played with. As is, I am getting the sense like the graffiti got in the way unintentionally. Maybe backing away and moving to the left, the legs right behind on the left side it can become a leading line if they are separated and not overlaid on each other, and the graffiti leg can be the first one. Just some ideas.....cheers!
