Awesome abstract Harley. I love the really dark blacks and how they get distorted in teh ripples to only fade to black again.

Sometimes it's just great to take on a leisurely approach to things and just let it happen. Sounds like this outing on Sunday morning was that type of trip and it obviously worked out very nicely here, Harley.

Nice graphic representation of a familiar scene. And a short drive, too!

Glad to see you getting out closer to home Harley, nice abstract work!

Excellent Harley. Should be a great addition to either your Urban & Rural or B&W gallery on your website.

I really like the visual contrast between the starkness of the pilings and the feathery, abstract nature of the water; and a great transition between the two. Great work.

Very observant, Harley, and most appropriate in B&W. The lines
are great. Just a thought--if I hand crop off most of the bottom,
I momentarily get the feeling that I'm looking at a piano keyboard.
I like it; well done.

Very cool, Harley. Especially dig the rippled water reflections.

Harley,
Nice comp. The abstract lines and rippled reflections are great.
Best Regards,

Michael
