Fishing without the fisherman, tools of trade without fishing pole. Silence.
An experiment with a scale-like composition, a game with balance and imbalance.
Editing: BW conversion during RAW processing at low contrast, darkening the middle part of the pier to the rest, raising contrast, resize and usm.

I understand keeping the crop close, but the way the shot it laid out, the chair is too close to the top of the frame. Angeling up the camera a bit would have remedied it, and would have provided room for the 'fisherman' to sit. The Choice of B&W works well because what you are after is the texture of the dock.
I like this shot. it is very well composed. your use of line really takes the viewer around the photograph. i feel that the crop is a bit tight though, i would like to see more space up top so that it feels like someone really should be in that chair, gives it more suspense
Your image draws my eyes into the middle then I just stop at the end of the pier. Too bad there wasn't a line with a fish or two laying on the dock to add some interest.
