Hi Karan

I like the sharpness and color of this image, but really makes this shot is person walking on the beach. It almost seems like they are going to walk right into the waves on the way to the pier.

A well composed shot and the colours are beautiful. The reflection of the sky and the elongated darker reflections of the pier and person walking on the wet sand give a special athmosphere to the picture. Well chosen title!
Regards,
Tibi

Hi Karan nice work been here many times but never been inspired to take any shots like this! very well done excellent light and contrast with the sky and pier I think your timing of the guy walking along was for me what makes this pic stand out from similar shots. well done superb work creative effort Best rgds Necip.

Hi Karan, this is lovely and your note really made my day. That is exactly the kind of situation I am always finding myself in. But it does pay off doesn't it, when you manage to take this kind of scene home. I would have cropped a bit higher from the bottom to create a slightly better balance - but that's a detail.

I often stop myself short of taking more daring photos because of what some stangers may think. BUt I can imagine you in your work attire taking a shot (that turned out magnificent by the way) so I think it's time to not worry so much about what others think.
TFS and cheers!

This pier is simply fantastic. And you got it from a very interesting different angle and time of the day.
Very nice work.

Hi Karan,
This is a grand photo. Very well composed and captured. I am in two minds about the figure on the right. For me he kinds of distracts the viewer from the main subject, which I suppose is the pier. Well done.

Hi Karan,
Beautiful photo! I like much the rare harmony of gray and yellow luminous tones! Gleams and reflections give a moody atmosphere enhanced by the alone silhouette walking towards the pier. Very well done! Annie

Hello Karan,
I went there many years ago and I have a very good souvenir from this place. We went to night club and there was a bomb alert that night; that was kind of weird…

Your picture is so beautiful! I like this lightning, POV and composition. LOL, I can imagine you on this beach with your briefcase :-) Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Karan,

This is so beautiful!! Love the lighting and contrast here! The fact that you've included the man added life to the composition!

Very well done

Hi Karan,
Add to that, you brought a camera and tripod with you to a conference. I think the photography bug hit you hard :) The funny thing is that we both took our camera and tripod to work on the same day. I took a few morning shots on my way to work.

The photo. Just stunning. The colors in the sky, the low POV the pier with still some details visable and the person who balances the photo. All picture perfect. A "whish I made this" photo.

TFS

Lovely sunrise shot with the pier and the man making interesting silhouettes and superb colours and textures. For my money there's a bit too much foreground, but cropping it would centre the horizon too much, so I'm not sure theres much improvement to be made. Great stuff!
Thanks for sharing
