Thanks for the comments, very helpful. I hope to learn a lot here. It is a bit intimidating with all the talent on these pages. I did notice this image was grainy, just after turned to jpeg at a few minutes to 12p- so no time to change. Didn't expect it to do this well!
Excellent composition. The leadling lines from the pier give this photo a strong perspective. A great score for your very first DPC submission! Keep up the great work and we hope to see lots more of you here in the Challenges.
