Pismo Pier

I struggled to find any kind of lead lines in these randomly scattered uprights. Used the Nik tonal contrast filter to give a slightly surreal look to what in reality is already a somewhat eerie location.

Something very haunting and eerie here ..
You found a good angle. Like it a lot!

I know how hard this comp is. After sloshing around under a similar pier...I finally quit...never got anything good. I also found similar difficulty shooting inside an antique covered bridge w/amazing timbers and beams. You did well here, the colors and depth are enhanced by the ceiling beams....perhaps a bit wider lens would have helped even more w/those beams. As is, still a winner in my book. Well done.

Very interesting perspective and makes me really enter the image and I can feel the water at my feet.

Very mysterious and haunting image. Did you consider it as a B&W or sepia toned?
