Prediction 5.3

I have some really nice photos of the top of the pier but you could see the end of it so it didn't seem "infinite." I'm fairly happy with this shot. It was a 15 second exposure. The stuff that looks like mist is actually the breaking surf. The exposure made the lighting a bit harsh but I'm pleased with the contrast of shadows. The only problem is the camera's inability to focus correctly in low light conditions.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Jason...

Your photo meets the challenge well in my opinion. The repeating patterns of the pilings seem to have no end. I particularly like the bit of fog that is present on the surface of the water. That adds an interesting element of mystery to the image. In general, I enjoy photos where the 'gemoetries' make up the strength of the image.

My interest in this particular photo fades away rather quickly because of the lighting. This scene has a lot of contrast and no primary point of interest. It is, entirely, a shapes and patterns theme more than anything else. I think there may be a strong photo waiting for you in this scene if you can find it :) If I may, I would suggest some rotation of the view to strengthen the diagonal theme as well.

Interesting capture. A little dark at the top though.

I like the idea,,,,a bit too dark. I think if you could see back under the pier a little more, this would do better.

Good capture. The crop is effective. The title is too long.

I get what you're going for here, but it doesn't feel very infinite to me. The photo composition is outstanding though, the water is soft, and the support beams are all very crisp. the shadows are outstanding, and i like the angle you shot this from. hmmmm, 9

nice use of lines and shapes to form a repeating theme...
