alfbailey 3 Posted September 3, 2010 Yeah I know it's been done before, but I just couldn't resist taking the long exposure against the vivid colours of this particular evening. I have done very little to this image, some sharpening, contrast and desaturation. Your thoughts and comments are always appreciated. Thank You. Link to comment
daveinwilton 1 Posted September 3, 2010 A very attractive shot Alf, with only the one small problem that you have already realized. But, it is only a note, while the rest of the composition is very well done. You have mastered the light excellently. I particularly like how the metal on the dock is highlighted in the failing light. I bow and wish you the best...-Dave Link to comment
trisha jean-angela 5 Posted September 4, 2010 This is beautiful! I feel as if I could step right into the photo and sit at the end of the pier, dangle my feet in the water and enjoy the rest of the sunset! Very well done. Thank you for sharing. :) Link to comment

postaovidiu 0 Posted September 4, 2010 Great work, like the sky colors reflected in the water! Link to comment
hstelljes 41 Posted September 4, 2010 Well this is going right into my favorites. The amazing clarity you achieve in your photos always gets me. This one is a perfect mirror image of the sky and water. The walkway leading to the right takes my eye right to the row of lights. Just awesome work Alf. Take care.Best Regards,Holger Link to comment
richard hans 0 Posted September 4, 2010 Such a peaceful & beautiful scene, and magical tonal range, very nice mood, Alf! Best regards Link to comment
ndj 0 Posted September 4, 2010 Awesome work Alf! Love those deep blues, and luscious orange, tones, the superb composition with it's great use of leading lines, and the lights of the buildins along the right side. Excellent image!All the best,Neil Link to comment
sreegraphy 0 Posted September 4, 2010 Alf.. This is spectacular shot... Excellent use of situation...!!! Link to comment
papasan 0 Posted September 4, 2010 Nice work Alf. I feel that most images we do have already been done before in one way or the other, what's important is how you apply your vision, and your emotions to a certain situation when you make an image. The colors and composition of this image brings tranquil solitude to my mind. A bridge that leads half way to others, but doesn't reach. Well seen and captured. Regards - michel Link to comment
andrzejp 7 Posted September 5, 2010 Magical color and light. Absolute delight to look at. Link to comment
pfranklin 0 Posted September 5, 2010 What I like about this is the way the dock leads me in and the depth...it feels as if there is great distance/open space for the viewer to consider.There are a number of images inside of this one great shot. I would like to see this dock with only the water & sky...no land or buildings to distract my eyes. I could sit all day in a peaceful place like that and wonder what is out there ;)Take care my friend,Pamela Link to comment
kallol 1 Posted September 5, 2010 Wonderful image, Alf...lovely colors and composition...my best Link to comment
elportebonheur 0 Posted September 5, 2010 The best seascape I've seen on PN for a long time! Very well thought through, captured and presented. The colors are extraordinary and very close to reality - really eye catching. In summary, this is a tutorial how to present a scene attractively without photoshopping to death...Chapeau Alf, a master piece! Link to comment
ruudalbers 1 Posted September 5, 2010 Really beautiful work with impressive lighting, Alf! Link to comment

alfbailey 3 Posted September 5, 2010 MAREKI'm really pleased you like it, thank you for your kind words.Best RegardsAlfDAVEMany thanks for your thoughts and invaluable feedback, I really do appreciate it. Originality can prove to be elusive at times, but I did get a shot the same evening that I will post later this week, that gets a bit closer to original.Cheers DaveAlfTRISHAIt was one of those extraordinary evenings, when the colours were so vivid, that people actually stopped to talk and comment about it, whilst others stopped thier cars and took photo's with mobile phones. Sincere thanks for your thoughts and kind comments Trisha.Best RegardsAlfPATSYMany thanks for your visit and kind comments, much appreciated!Warm RegardsAlfRAJINDERSincere Thanks for oyur visit and kind words,much appreciatedKind RegardsAlfMAURIZIOMany thanks for stopping by, and for your encouraging words.Best RegardsAlfOVIDIU It was the reflections that really struck me too. Many thanks for your visit and positive feedback.Kind RegardsAlfHOLGER I'm very pleased you liked it and I'm very honoured that you would consider this as a favourite Holger!My sincere thanksAlfRICHARD I really appreciate your visit and encouraging words, sincere thanks!Best RegardsAlfNEIL Many thanks for your kind and encouraging words, your feedback is really appreciated!Kind RegardsSREEHARIMany thanks for your kind words, much appreciated! I suppose it's a case of being in the right place at the right time, photography dictates that kind of thing, going to bed late, getting up early, all the things you shouldn't do to maintain a healthy lifestyle........is it worth it......Damm right it is! : - )Kind RegardsAlfMICHELI think you have raised a valid point. As you say, most places of aesthetic beauty have been visited and photographed at some time or another, but perhaps not exactly the same, not with the same light or from the same angle, or at the same time of day or with the same colours. And also again as you have said, maybe not with the same mood , atmosphere and feeling. I really appreciate your visit and feedback Michel Thank you.Kind RegardsAlfANDREWMany thanks for your visit and kind words, I'm really pleased you liked it!Kind RegardsAlfPAMELA Hello Pamela I hope you are keeping well! Many thanks for your visit and invaluable feedback I really do appreciate it. Ideally those buildiings (waterside apartments) would be have been built elsewhere, as it's not possible to get that dock without them, well not from that particular angle anyway. But I will check out that file to see if I've got it from another angle. I have got the water, sunset and lovely little sailing dinghy from that evening that I will post shortly, when I get round to processing it. Cheers Pamela.Take good care!AlfKALLOLSincere thanks for your visit and kind words, much appreciated!Best RegardsAlfELWow! You are very kind and generous. The compliments don't get much better than that, I'm truly flattered.My Sincere Thanks and Best RegardsAlfRUUDThank you for stopping by and for your kind comments, much appreciated!Kind RegardsAlfKEITH Sincere thanks for your kind and generous comments, I'm truly flattered.Cheers Keith!AlfALBERTOMany thanks for your visit and very encouraging comments, much appreciated!Warm RegardsAlfHARRY I'm really pleased you liked it.
