Harbor

A very traditional subject, the infamous marina/pier/sailboat, etc. Image was manipulated

but it seems to work for this shot. See it enlarged for greater detail. There is a lot going on

within the image. Thanks in advance for the comments.

I rated higher on originality because I think I understand what you are trying to say, but lower on aesthetics because I think you've crammed too much into the photo. For me, it's almost like information overload. I'd like to have seen a clearly defined subject and this mass of boating paraphenalia in the background.

Yves: Thanks for the observation. I may try cropping out the upper left hand corner or possibly the entire upper quarter. That would completely fill the frame with abstract shapes which was my intention to begin with.

 

Glen: Thanks for the comments. Much appreciated. I think my intention with this photo was to not capture an image of a marina with boats etc., but rather to create abstract shapes. It's one of the oldest techniqes to use a telephoto lens to compress the visual. I wanted the viewer to take a moment to realize what they are looking at. Nonetheless, all comments and observations are welcome and contribute. Thank you both for taking the time to write...

the chaos of the picture is so strong and well interpreted that you find yourself looking at the picture for minutes.

i liked this picture a lot,specially the color feast of it.

congrats my friend.
