Beautiful shots. I love the shadows in that first one, with the big breaking waves off in the distance. And the third one really grabs me too, with the edge of each support glistening in the sun, and the water crashing through the tunnel of wood...love the exposure you chose to 'freeze' the water drops.

Great photos! 1 is my favorite of the 3. I love the shadows in it.

Thanks Antartican. It was a good day.

Yep ... I went for the shadows. Thanks for commenting.

I really like #1. #3 is a decent 2nd for me......

Did you intentionally keep #1 off center?

Yeah, maybe it should have been more off-center ... centering lost a lot of the shadows on the right.

I think if you cropped a little off the top, the 'off center' would look much more intentional

I think #2 stands way above the rest.

Thanks Averagejoe ... here's some barnacles stuck to a piling.

Nice shots, especially the first one. I really like the twisting effect.

Thanks Abraxas ... although I appreciate the desert ... the coast is what grips moi.

all very nice, wonderful light that day from the looks.....I too like the 'warp' effect in #1, it's like the offcentre perspective combined with the shadows provides a vortex like effect...the strong contrast in #2 also appeals very much in combination with the detail in the wet sand. The last shot is fantastic.

Number two is my most favourite one of that lot!
