It's a good photo but not very interesting. Probably not helpful as it is just my opinion.

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This is a well taken image, great lighting on this semi-reflective surface. For me, the focus on the rail bar consigning the telephone to slight blurdom stops the eye from just settling on the phone. Instead, our eye is encouraged to wnder and so land upon the scratches and imperfections in the surface.

Critical stuff: One of those scenes that only has so much interest in it meaning that it tops out quite quickly.

Overall: I like it well enough but it's not one I'll find myself coming back just to look at.

Liked this a lot. This was one of the several 9's I gave out this challenge.

I very much like your use of depth of field on this photo. The choice of B&W was a good one, as well as the composition.

I really like this shot. Nice job of seeing something intriguing in something most people would pass by.

I like the over-all feel of this photo, especially the black and white conversion, and the shallow depth of field which really adds to the ambience. Wish there was a bit more textural detail in the wood - probably is when viewed larger!

This area has a lot of potential for a great photo, I just don't think this photo captured that full potential. Maybe it you could have waited until a sailboat was closer, and if you included less water it would have worked a bit better.

Good angle, good composition. Classic small town photojournalism.
