Floating Pier
Sometimes you work on an image, where an idea and a pre-visualization of the end result had been percolating for some time and it just clicks. I’ve been waiting to post this image for a few weeks. It’s not often that I’m pleased with the outcome of one of my images (I tend to be my own worst critic) but I was really pleased with this one. This was taken at the same time as the surfing images I posted a couple of weeks ago. I used my 10-stop ND filter in order to achieve a long exposure and I used Topaz Black & White Effects to create the final image.
Click on the image to see a larger, high-resolution version (it really does look better) or to Purchase a Print.

This has a really nice, minimalist feel to it, Edith. Wonderful job on the processing.

The high key finish to this image really suits the subject especially the blur in the wages from the use of the Big-Stopper. Perfect choice of finish for this image, Edith.

Yes, it’s a fine image. Once in a great while I manage to scroll back through your images. They are wonderful, Edith. And, you share so much with your followers. That is unusual and very generous of you. You are also very kind and forgiving of our images which, of course, don’t compare to yours. I voted for you in Otto’s survey of photographers to feature. I chose you because your work is superb, your blog is not only filled with inspired images, but it is a real source of expert advice and information. Thank you, Edith! 🙂

It just floats, Edith – and very well. I like the high key treatment and the titling underneath (which unfortunately is lost when I click to view an enlargement).

Thanks so much Andy. Funny you should comment on the titling. I actually didn’t include it on the image which is in my smugmug gallery. I purposely did that. This would make a beautiful fine art print so I omitted the titling.
