I've never posted to this section before . . . hardly ever saw it. But Dave's photo turned my eye.
About a week ago I went on a photo trek to Hoboken, NJ . . . across from Manhattan and got this shot. The cormorants were already there, all lined up on the old wooden works. Maybe they www watching dawn break too.

Welcome ygelman !!! Glad you decided to post, (I have been MIA to some degree), but I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work. My interest lies more on street photography than architectural photography, but I can appreciate that others have an interest in architectural photography. Your posted image is interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing more. I took a look at your website and thought you had some interesting B&W's there as well.

Really effective image - has good perspective and atmosphere.

The silhouettes are very pleasing. I like them as they give the photo just a tad of mystery. They give general info on the architecture but leave much to the imagination that would only be revealed in the light of full day. Nice shot.

Thank you all: Dave Chinn, Nosaj, jaymatt, and dragonfist.
Regarding dragonfists's comments, that's actually the way I often look at the scenes/subjects. Something shown but not quite explained, with something else perhaps leading to something outside the image frame, often with strong geometries especially boundaries between light and dark, but incorporating tonal differences as well. (Hey, that sounds like an artist statement! It's a candid statement but I think I'll use it. Thanks.)

I like it a lot. The way the angles of the pier members mimic the angle of the building the background seems to tie it all together.

Exactly. And I did not even notice that when I took the shot . . . I just "liked" what I was seeing in the viewfinder.
And as well, the fact that the funny triangular building has its apex on a vertical line helps tie things together in a nice way.
It's funny how a little training helps put things right without consciously thinking; maybe my photography would be better if I did that as well. :)
Thanks for the comment.
