One needs to be careful in that area of the little beach , and i don't just mean ''discarded needles''

i have seen Tiger snakes, as well as Browns and Copperheads very close to and on that beach, when i have been taking pics of the bridge or shipping, considering the amount of people around it amazes me how they have adapted and flourished in the area,

Am going for a record to see if i can spot a Black snake but have yet to see one

The first image is a well spoken political image... Very powerful for me the way you've set the foreground and background subjects... The second dunno about the feet, not sure...

#3 has great saturation, good lines and terrific interest, maybe just clone or crop out the log(?) intruding in the BR corner... Another powerful image with the perspective under the bridge and that terrific sky...

The last one maybe a step to the right with less background stuff on the right and some more bridge??? Just rambling, thinking after the shot's always easier eh? :wink:

All these have great color saturation...

Funny you should mention snakes and needles. Saw the needles, and only the "Beware of snakes" sign

I was very careful stepping around there

Just keep your eyes open for snakes is all i'm saying

As when one is concentrating on taking pics in such a place snakes don't always feature as something to lookout for, especially in a reasonably populated and busy place

It is a great place to take pics though, early morning and early evening (from the west side) in particular
