    Order in chaos

    I almost didn't take this shot. It just looked too busy. Then I saw the line of pylons and felt that it gave just enough order to the chaos to make a good shot.

    Opinions good or bad are welcome.

    Dan,

    I agree its too busy, perhaps if there was more of the pontoon in view or a higher perspective on the boats, because I want to see the boats..

    I'm a sailor and I'm sorry to say this does nothing for me. I always find marina shots difficult and often bin mine.

    Thanks for the feedback Roger. As you can tell I was on the fence about this one from the start. I felt the pylons added just enough order to save it.

    Oh well, at least I'm one shot closer to my next really good shot!
