Pier in Fog

I don't know quite what to make of this photo... sometimes I look at it and think it's quite good, and other times, it makes me go, "Ehhh!" (the visual on this exclamation is a dismissive shrug.)

So I thought I'd put it out for comment by my FPCP Friends.

This was actually the very last photo at the foggy marina last Friday. I used my new "walkaround camera", the Canon A620.

I think it's quite good. The starkness and clarity of the dock is a good contract to the ethereal scene of the boats in the background. The dock also gently leads the eye toward the boats. I like the clean look of the water and fog (it is merged and becomes invisible, just leaving the two elements).

Thanks, Warren.

I think what attracted me about this scene is that my eye-brain wants to connect the end of the pier to the line of boats in the foggy distance.

And, just as you said, the "real-ness" of the dock contrasts with the "vapor-ness" of the background.

Well,Steve,I'd tend to concur with your "Ehhh!" in the absence of them fog. Now, I think this is a really good photo of contrast and depth and composition.
