what a great photo... the player in the air is a great "action" shot, great aperture and shutter speed. colors are great and it is tack sharp. the player is kicking "into" the picture, everything is great... very well done

Nice shot ! I should have cropped it a bit under the metallic "sphere/circle" at the right to keep less grey parking area. Doing that, your force line will be placed at almost 1/3 of the picture and will make it more strutured.

The smaller photos, loose a lot of quality, which is why I always push for High Res

(5 years and 2726 days ago)

avatar SilenceDoGood

A superbly processed HDR! There seems to be a bit of jpeg artifacts from the image compression when viewed in high-res mode but I don't see why that would affect any persons opinion of this photograph. The tones are perfectly exposed throughout the scene. Well done!

A pier is not a boat dock, period. Just because it is over water does not make it a pier. The keywords are "Bridge, building supports, and walkway." Stairs or a ramp leading to something floating on the water is not a pier. Close, but no kewpie doll, regardless the location.

Nice photo, I would crop some of the sea, as at the moment the ship is too high in the frame, IMO

It HAS to be over water and at some point end over the water, is the only main rule.
This is fine Author IMHO.
Very nice shot and good luck to you.

I've always considered docks and piers the same thing and I've lived on water my whole life. They don't connect to anything and both just stick out over water for viewing or fishing or whatever pleasure... of course here the homeless take grounds under it for a place to sleep.
Author: I see what you mean but I think you would have had more focus on the pier on with how you have things placed if the boat wasn't such a dominant color. What do you think? The eyes are going to go to the dominance of the picture then browse around imo. Still love this though. It's a great job that I'm envious of

MossyB says:

"A pier is a raised structure, including bridge and building supports and walkways, over water, typically supported by widely spread piles or pillars." I don't think a dock is the same thing, is it? (Here in the mountains, you don't see many piers, so I'm not sure...)

I have to agree with the author here...everytime i see apples at the market, they are in a bag, many of them, packed together or in barrels and tubs..
