Like this Brenda. Something about the shapes and contrasts, really holds the interest. Alistair

Wow, I did not expect such wonderful comments! To satisfy your curiosity: the vertical lines are saplings made into a primitive fishing weir. The victims swim happily (or not) between the poles and then are left trapped when the tide goes out. Fishermen go out to collect them afterwards, as they're often left hanging (the fish, that is, not the fishermen). The foreground boulders are part of a granite sea wall beside the wharf.

Fantastic Brenda, I wish I had taken this.

I like the way the fore ground sets up middle and the back ground horizon

I love this minimalistic look to images.
how simple but effective.

Yes, fine work indeed! These black poles? emerging from the water are like a sewing in the image, very strong graphical result.
BTW Do you know what are these things? A fishing trap maybe? endika

I like how each element, air, liquid and solid is relegated to its own part - each having its own textrues and shape.

Too bad Charlie D. is not here. I think he would really get off on this.

Oh this one is really neat! I love the mystery of the reed(?) popping through the water. I have no clue what else those could be but they make for a lovely interesting photo! The rocks in the forground set the whole scene off. Fine work here Brenda.
