Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi pieterw2008 :)

The composition of this photo is excellent, and the exposure also creates a nice sense of sound and motion for me. I think you did an excellent job with this image, and it appears that the voters feel the same way :)

As I was reading your information about post processing, I may be able to offer you some assistance in 'perfecting' this photograph. It seems that the orange glow of the light wasn't your preference, so learning to shift the white balance may be useful to you. If you are shooting in raw mode, you can shift the camera white balance after the shot during the raw conversion process. If not, you can use the levels dialog box in photoshop to select a poing within the image that is supposed to be 'white' and it will do some color correction for you. This option doesn't always work out well, but it can in a lot of cases. Your third option is to make it a black and white :) My personal preference in photography is black and white. If I create a photo where the color is not playing a key role, it ends up as a black and white anyway :)

Excellent work...

You could have entered this in Holy Places as well, with the cross at the end of the pier. ;-)
Very nice effect of the lighting on the waves.
