    I think it might be a combination of all three things. Great shot, Phil!

  • Phil Thomson IPA replied

    Thanks for your support Pal, you’re probably right although with all three I didn’t see too many results while I was there!

    Awesome shot Phil you have put the viewer right in the water, and a great angle!!

  • Phil Thomson IPA replied

    Thanks Darren, you’re not too far wrong as I was laying on the sand taking the shot and had to beat a hasty retreat!!

    Great angle and the colours are delightful. Love the waves crashing into the pier.

  • Phil Thomson IPA replied

    Thanks Linda, It was a lovely warm Summer’s day and the waves did somewhat oblige!!

    Wonderful capture Phil!! I guess to really find the answer to your question you would have to ask the fisherman. Do they see the waters half full of fish or half empty? Hmmm…..now you got me thinking! ;-)

    I love the depth & the colors of the ocean. Really lovely work Phil
    this is fantastic! the blue of the water, and the little bit of green under the dock, and then the shadows! and don’t get me started on the weathered beams and how you captured their perfect point of symmetry! so wonderful! Oh! did I mention the lighting …..........Wow!!!!!!!!
