  This may be your best pier pic, Donna. But I'm not sure I've seen all of them. A superb composition, in perfect light and shadow.

  I really do like to see people or a single person somewhere in a landscape. It imparts such an immediate sense of scale and, I think, often adds to the grandeur of a scene. I particularly like your use of the person and dogs here, Donna. The silhouette is immediately understood.
