Moody image. I like how you angled the dock just a bit.

Finally got to look at this on a good monitor, and it's beautiful. Really nice tone and detail in the unusual cloud formation. Everything is composed so well, with the end of the pier stopping at the tree reflections. Another beauty, Tim!

My thoughts are pretty much a repeat of Bill's, with the additional comment that I really like the dark bottom. Is it just me, or did you manage to darken the water at the bottom while keeping the dock light?
Good job, Tim.

I wanted to look at this at home before commenting. Your usual great attention to detail in the composition Tim. My eyes seem to wander between the amount of sky detail and the dock leading into the frame. I'm wondering if a little less sky wouldn't enhance the overall message of this image?

Tim, perfect in everyway. It makes me want to jump in! I really like your B & W compositions.
