Nice Photo!

I like the burnout, very nice

Like the high key treatment here, I think it works nicely. I also like how you kept the top cross pieces just above the horizon line. If there is anything I might change, I think it would be the coloring... the reddish-brown makes it look like muddy water to me. Nicely done!

to much blow out for me.
05/04/2007 02:27:58 PM
Great photo.
05/04/2007 12:22:23 PM
Like the mood of this shot, simplicity and infinity at same time. The sepia tone also works well.

Nice find! I don't like the super-high-key processing though. Might be improved with less sky in the crop.

The only person I've seen that mentioned Pi being transcendental, awesome. I love the idea, the posts look sharp, I also like the toning. I do think that the white is a bit too much, If this were mine I would have cropped almost a third off the top and right of the image.

Nice find of Pi, I'm not a big fan of high key, but I think it works very well here. Bump to 9

good capture of unintended man-made "pi" signs, but it's so washed out.
05/03/2007 10:45:19 PM
I think this image has "the makings" bu I would like to see the tonal ranges of the waves pushed further into the shadow range. They seem a little to light to me. From looking at the remains of the pier, that may not have been possible to do within the rules and still keep the piers from clipping at the bottom range of the tonal spectrum, which is unfortunate.

Beautiful! 10 for me...
05/03/2007 04:51:17 PM
Nice find. I like the treatment of this with the pylons fading out into the blown out sky. Very surreal.
05/03/2007 01:49:01 PM
Seems overexposed to me, but i still like it. The water just blends in with the sky, which is interesting.
05/03/2007 07:04:03 AM
Lovely photo, nice concept but the background is over bright according to me. Overall good, 7 :)
05/03/2007 12:01:08 AM
A little too washed/blown out, IMHO.
05/02/2007 07:05:39 PM
I love the subtlety of this - great "found" Pi. :)
05/02/2007 04:51:29 PM
nice picture.
05/02/2007 12:33:21 PM
i really like this, but it is a bit overexposed
05/02/2007 09:55:54 AM
an interesting shot with or without the pi. I'd hang this on my wall.
05/02/2007 09:46:15 AM
wow. great find. i love this and how they slowly fade away. the colors are nice. great job!
05/02/2007 07:52:38 AM
Very, very nice!! 9
05/02/2007 04:33:16 AM
great composition but seems overexposed, maybe deliberately. I wonder what an HDR of this would look like?
05/02/2007 03:43:23 AM
Little too bright IMO, but nice subject.
