Pier People

Description

A dull overcast day seemed uninspiring for photos along the seashore, until I spotted the reflections of these pilings at the end of a pier. The anonymous people standing there for a brief moment added a perfect touch of color. ISO 400, shutter 1/125, aperture ?

Thank you for your kind comments Roseann, Claudia and Debbie. I thought this was kind of fun... I took a series of photos as the reflection kept changing, but this one (which was the only one with the people, and was cropped from a larger image) was the most interesting. #149215

Thanks for your feedback Colette, Leanne, Rob and Damien. Glad you like it! As I said, the day was so dreary, I thought the trip to the coast would end up a wash, so I was pleased to end up with ONE usable photo for my efforts, lol... #149266
