I am sure some people might recognize this since this fence has featured here on the site before. So nothing new with the composition, but my oh my this sunset was extraordinary. Only a little bit of fill light and then some contrast was added. On this shoot I slipped on the pipe and cut my leg open. So I literally bled for the shot :) I hope the voters like it.

Got the photographer wrong. Darnok and Konrad Blum both have images taken around this spot in their portfolio and in similar style.

Wow, great colors with good silhouettes. Interesting blocks in the sand but they add great feeling.

The colors are what drew me to this pic. So warm and beautiful.

love the repeating lines and shapes to break up the intense colors and drive our vision back into the scene

Wonderful, WONDERFUL photo. Colours are outstanding and the composition is superb. I'd have overprocessed this, without a doubt, but you've nailed it, Well done.


Now... please bear with me... I'm revisiting a little comment experiment I conducted in the 2009-03 Free Study... something like K10DGuy's comments, but with a twist... the twist being, the story will move from one photo to another within the challenge... also, I don't select just a few photos I start at the first and end on the last as determined by DPC random order assigned to me, with a single sentence for each photo... should be interesting... and you're photo is #5 in the series

After the storms and fires had passed, only ghostly remnants remained where once stood the village, and they too would eventually be eroded by time.

Ok, I really want to know the story behind this! Flooded prison? You've combined ugly and beautiful to create great drama.

South African photographer and little confused as who's entry this could be. Brilliant colours and the sky spectacular. Nice composition. Reflections coming off the wet sand really cool.

Nice image, interesting texture in the water. Sky seems over saturated, though. And it seems a bit unlucky that the diagonals lead the eye to the extreme upper left of the image, with no real subject at the destination. 7

Stunning image. Love the "liquidness" of the water. This shot could be by Mr. Perold as he has entered an image taken here once before called 'Infinite Possibilities" but I notice another entry in this challenge taken at Kogel Bay with the 12 Apostles in the background and that I know is another favorite place for Mr. Perold. Obviously Mr. Perold could not have entered both images so which one of the 2 is by Mr. Perold?
Aha...I think I worked it out....this one is by Mr.Konrad Blum who has taken quite a number of shots at this spot. The "Kogel Bay" shot was taken by Mr. Perold.
