evening on the jetty

Posted by DarkElf (Perth, Australia) on 7 April 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

recently I finally had a chance to capture a sunset at the Busselton Jetty in Western Australia... it got dark a bit sooner than I expected but I got a moment or two to get a couple of shots in...

thanks to everyone for visiting and commenting... please critique at will - i am looking to learn so any comments and tips are appreciated...

A beautiful sunset photo and yes, it is a long jetty, but makes for a wonderful subject against that gorgeous sky.

Beautiful composition and color ... the long exposure made for a terrifically smooth surface on the water and the sky is a real treat ... sweet shot all around!

Great composition, really like the smooth sea created by the long exposure. The silhouette of the buildings are marvelous

I like how it transitions from lighter to darker as the eye moves from left to right.

this is the pier that has the aquarium at the end underneath the water right? never got a chance to go in, but did stop for a few minutes to take in the scenic value. wonderful place. you've captured its character very well here in near silhouette... and the sunset is gorgeous!
