Metaphor

At the Hudson River by Greenwich Village (NYC). Thoughts? Thanks.

Great subject and composition! It makes me wonder what was there at one time.

Good colors, and the gull adds a very nice touch. I might leave just a hint of space above the farthest (or is that furthest?) piling.

Thank you. These are pilings that once held a pier. They are just south of (downriver from) the existing 10th Street pier. There is another working pier just south of this. A southwest wind was mighty that day...the texture and color of the water changed abruptly just beyond the pilings. This photo was taken within the zone protected by the next pier down. On the other hand, I like the way the pilings appear to zoom off the frame at the top. It leaves what's beyond to be a bit of a mystery.

Nice perspective. The tonality and contrast are nice and the little white bird adds a nice touch to the composition. Thank you for visiting my page and regards.

Great perspective and obliging gull!

Striking! A wonderful example of leading lines. A lonely fellow in a world of decay. A haunting title. I love it!
