A floating dock which raises and lowers about 3-4 feet each tide so as to maintain a constant level with the water.
I was attracted by the complexity of lines, angles, levels and platforms. In post processing I slightly simplified the details so as not to distract from the major elements.

As we drove into northern Pennsylvania, the autumn leaf colors became more pronounced, and we knew that we would probably hit peak or near peak colors in upper New York and Vermont. There were so many places I wanted to pull over and stop the car to photograph; it’s a wonder we made as good…
Perhaps after a week of cold rain, it’s ‘allowable’ for one’s mind to focus on a long cold stone alleyway leading to a closed heavy black door. Depressing, perhaps, but there’s rich history in the walls and stone walkway. I visualize in a mind-play scenario; there’d be “no one home” or at least no…

I like this shot quite a lot. It’s very busy with a lot of lines and angles and textures but it has a simplified color pallet that sort of brings it together. Very nice.
Ken, thanks. It has a similar impact for me — lots going on but it seems to work.
There’s a lovely feeling of color in this as well. What are you shooting with these days?
Chris, thanks. This was taken with an Olympus E-M5 (OM D.) I also still have the Nikon D700.
I like the effect your processing had on the blues here Earl. May I ask what you used to soften the details?
Mark, thanks. I’ve found with careful adjustments the Topaz Simplify plug-in can give a nice “simplified” effect without looking overdone. I also adjusted the white balance a little cooler to pull out those blue tones.
My eyes went to the blue cast then moved on to the lines. It really is a different life when one lives near water or desserts or mountains. I say that because I am drawn to scenes like this but do not have the opportunity to shoot them very often.
