So the black wavy line is a reflection of the jetty Joe? I have just noticed the lovely lighting at the bottom. #2502993Joe Terni March 06, 2006
Thanks Amy and Kate for your very nice comments.I have to wait for a very calm day(which it was), to shoot these from the top of the jetty,any waves or even ripples etc and its hopeless.This shot incorporated a shadow from the jetty,but it was also a very reflective day with the clouds,which adds that bit of different colours to the shot as well.So spot on Kate,the wavy line is the shadow of the jetty with some reflection as well.I prefer it to a number of other shots I took on the same day, of those jellies, that had no jetty shadow and with minimum reflections involved. #2504444Phil Cannon April 23, 2007
