snow on pier by ingrid2101

snow on pier

Taken on Monday night late on, as there are very bright lights down the pier you can get interesting images. Wasn't sure about cropping this one, maybe i should have lost the three little lights along the bottom?
I like that there are 3 little lights, adds to the artistic look of the photo.

This looks like a painting and the feeling of the power of nature is fantastic!!!!

I like the 3 lights too, there is a sense of framing from them and the light at the top. Really textural again, great sense of movement from the rain, hail or snow battering this environment. Love the colours too!

Oops, just looked at tag, clearly it's snow, silly me :)

You're way more dedicated than me! I wanted to take something like this, of the snow actually coming down, but I wimped out every time. Of course, I tell myself it was because I had to sit and work, but...

I like the feel of this! To me it's perfect composition and lighting.

This is beautiful Ingrid - my favourite shot of the day! Love how the light captures the movement of the snow. The three little lights really work for me. Fav! : )

Love the motion of the snow - it can be very mesmerizing (particularly if you are driving through it at night)

Another lovely shot, I like the lights at the bottom.

I agree with the others.. wonderful tones, colors here.. I'm interested, what is that dark "object' on the top corner of the Bldg.. I'd like to think it's a bird braving the snow :-)

@juliesviewoflife @andysg @spankyjane thank you, I wasn't sure about the lights but it felt emptier without them
@Cheesebiscuit Thank you! I had to out so made the most of it- it was very quick though, freezing!

Love the tracks of the snow and the light in this image. I wouldn't crop the lights - I like those.

@elsbels thank you Helen, means a lot !
@rennes thank you so much Lisa! Really appreciate it
@steampowered Thank you. it was driving that gave me the idea, it can be very hypnotic, this was horizontal as so exposed!
@janpenny thank you Jan!

@mizhayz thank you! Let's just say it is a bird!! I think it's the drain pipe though ;)

The three little lights are a cool balance and give more personality to the shot. Love and fav :)
January 24th, 2013  
Wonderful monochromatic tones and light. The movement is so good - very Scottish!!

Very nice comic book feel to this. Cab easily see a shady figure in a hat and long coat leaning against the post

This is a great photo. Nice composition, minimal yet complex, well done!
January 24th, 2013  
I also like the three little lights, they give it balance.
January 24th, 2013  
great shot. nice composition... I think the three lights add to the shot.

@aspada @denidouble @michellelittle Thanks for your comments, I'm glad I left them in now - it's always tricky sitting on your own deciding
@annethomson Yes Anne! VERY scottish, when the wind stops here we all fall over
@abhijit Like your way of thinking! Great to see it through someone else's eyes, removes you a little bit.

@studiombkcom Thank you !
January 24th, 2013  
Wow What à great effect! Love how you composed the shot!
January 24th, 2013  
It's wonderful Ingrid and I think the three lights are a perfect place to rest my eyes. Love the motion of the snow.
January 24th, 2013  
Another great shot, love the snow
January 24th, 2013  
The three lights at the bottom and the light at the top really add to the shot.
January 25th, 2013  
I think that the three lights help anchor the composition, and I just love the patterns and textures created by the snow. Awesome!
