It's what's underneath that counts!

Funny, before I started this project, I would have never thought about going under a dark, algae infested pier to take photos! Now its one of my favorite places to shoot! There was so much color and texture under this pier! I was beautiful! Like they say, " It's not what's on top that counts, ...
Love the linear qualities and textures : stunning !

Great undercover work Jerry! You've towed the lines and grit quite well!
February 27th, 2013  
The textures and contrast are outstanding. Love the water reflection also. Cool!
February 27th, 2013  
Wow. Love the view down here.
February 27th, 2013  
The pillars have some sort of bag attached to them? It must be waterproof and have some sort of use! I love the criss-crossy lines!

Awesome idea, and you are right. You really do look at life around you in a totally different way, more in depth
February 27th, 2013  
Nicely done! Love the reflections. I don't see any people..under the big pier here, people are likely to be hanging out!
February 27th, 2013

Loving the lines
February 28th, 2013  
The pier at our local beach is one of my fave places to shoot as well. I love all the intersecting lines and the textures in this shot.
March 1st, 2013  
Beautiful shot! Isn't it funny how this project makes us so much more aware of our surroundings?!
March 1st, 2013  
@ptowncook Lol! I'm going to do that next just for you, Laura! :)
March 1st, 2013  
Great POV. It sure is funny how you end up thinking differently and seeing things you'd never have thought about before.
March 1st, 2013  
I´ll try to say it in English. I really love this. The composition, the lines, the tones, the point of view, dop... And I know what you say that It's what's underneath that counts. It's happening to me. Well done!
March 2nd, 2013  
Amazingness !!!

I can see a wonderful abstract coming out of this place!

@orangecrush Sure, run into a gorgeous Thunderbird and the garbage notion is out the window! I saw a slideshow once (remember those) of photos an artist took on her trip to Japan. She showed Japanese garbage. They wrap everything up in gorgeous fabrics. The garbage is exquisite! If we only had such an aesthetic!
March 3rd, 2013  
@ptowncook OMG! I forgot obout the garbage shot! Ok, I'm on a mission now! :)
March 3rd, 2013  
Fantastic colours. 365 definitely changes us and what we notice that's for sure xx
