Most unusual and intriguing shot - very nice indeed. Excuse the ignorance, but what is the post for?

@dobbino: Thank you for your comments, I'm not sure but i think it could be for mooring boats.
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
Very striking Alun. It goes against "the rules" with the post right smack in the middle, but it really works. A brilliant idea!

@Andrew Gould: Thank you Andrew, i know It shouldn't put the post in the middle but i just shot it didn't think about it to much but when i got home i thought no!!, but i still liked it as well Cheers

Anthony Lambert from Germany
I have to say that im not sure about the glare !! but then I´m just an old stick in the mud :)

@Anthony Lambert: Oh my god no more jobbys what are my going to do. you leave my stick alone He He :)
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Beautiful image Alun. I think it's perfect just the way it is because if you cut down on the glare then you would lose the drama of the setting sun.

@Marion: Thank you Marion, very kind
Barbara from Florida, United States
Beautiful capture into the sun. In my book there are no rules, if the shot feels good shoot it. In this case it is Excellent. I like the light and dark tones and blue with the texture of the water, sand and rocks.

@Barbara: Thank you very much Barbara for your lovely comment
standley from brou-sur-chantereine, France
Beautiful backlight composition. I like the shimmering reflections!

@standley: Thank you standley
DaveB from Exeter, United Kingdom
Lovely silhouette, although it would've been cooler in my opinion if you got in low and close to the rail so it completely dominated the shot, and you would'nt have the dark foreground in it either!
25 May 2008 4:51pm
@DaveB: Yes i could have but it was a bit of a clamber down and thats mud you can see. what i could have done was some dodging and burning to improve the foreground, thanks for your comment
@Observing: cheers dude
Nicholas from Shah Alam, Malaysia

Condemna from Barcelona, Spain
I think this is an excellent picture. Just to add some constructive criticism, I would prefer there were no lens ghosts on the post...
26 May 2008 3:15pm
@Condemna: Do you mean flair, yes i can see why some would not like the flair, but i do, Thank you for that.
