Shooting the Pier

To the surfer this is called shooting the pier (an attempt at surfing between the pillars) I thought the long lens compression of the pillars made this an interesting shot.

looks like a dangerous way to surf those barnackle covered pillars could prove treacherous. great shot!

Such a dramatic shot... the foreshortening of the pillars is perfection and the deposits (?) at the bottom of each adds an otherworldly aspect.

Artist Reply: Thanks Gary. Those deposits are mussels growing at the high tide line. They are razor sharp.

WOW THIS LOOKS VERY DANGEROUS, JOHN. THOSE WAVES COULD JUST SLAM HIM AGAINST ONE OF THE PILLARS. WOW. VERY AWESOME SHOT AND ARTISTIC TOO.
