You've captured an UFO :) Great composition, love the lights of the moving boat (?)

La lumière de cette photo est superbe, personnellement je l’aurai aussi prise sans le bateau.

こんにちは~。桜島の埠頭ですね?シャッタースピードを遅くした事によってリアルさが伝わって来ます。フェリー料金ももう少し安くなれば簡単に車をあちらへ運べるのですが・・・

I liked the last two, but this one is fantastic. The blues -- which you always do so well -- are really beautiful here, and the light is even more pronounced. Best of all is the composition, with that stationary red pole there in the middle. So well done!

Après avoir vu et revu celle d'hier j'arrive à appréhender celle-ci dont les couleurs sont vraiment superbes et les lignes lumineuses du bateau assez extraordinaires ! mais je suis toujours un peu gênée par le quai au milieu .

@Marie-Hélène Ammor: Merci Marie Helene pour ton feedback toujours apprecie. Contrairement aux photos d'hier le bateau rentre au port et se deplace vers la droite (le sillage est visible). J'ai cadre la photo en placant la balise phare au milieu. Je vais essayer de couper 2-3cm a gauche pour centrer la perspective du quai, cela decalera le phare et voir si c'est mieux. Je voulais avoir le bateau en entier et avec le lag de mon appareil + 2 secondes du timer pour eviter toute vibration il a failli sortir de la photo a droite. Je ne pouvais donc difficilement aller plus pres.

Fantasticas vistas, tratamiento y encuadre, una gran fotografia, no falta dettalle, tanto quieto como en movimiento.

Great shot, like the effect the long exposure has created. I like how time stands still on the pier

Never thought of including a boat in a long exposure like this . . wow, this is deliciously unreal.

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States

This is why I love photography so much because you can manipulate time. Beautiful & creative shot.

Laurent from Lyon, France

elle se suffit à elle même. J'ai bien aimé ton diptyque mais j'avoue que celle ci toute seule est superbe.
Le filé est du plus bel effet et j'aime la perspective amenée par le ponton. La lumière est également très belle.

Great. Best one of the series so far.

Ambiance rencontre du 3eme type.
C'est super comme lumières. En ce qui me concerne le quai ne me dérange pas au contraire
