Unforgotten, underlined
We slipped into the water
Out of focus, out of time"

Your choice of lyrics is spot on. I'm a mad David Sylvian fan (ever since his days with 'Japan'), and many of his songs would accompany this beautifully etheral image so well. I can hear 'Nostalgia' in the background, soothing my ears.
Perfect composition, gorgeous tones and contrast, and perfection in mono. I am lost to my thoughts, walking through the scene, truly superb

A wonderful composition. The simmering water and reflections stand out sharply against all those dark wood tones. Love it.

Very strong mood of uncertainty in this . . almost like a scene of crime.

You are the champion for sombre moods, but it's so dark over here in the Eastern Townships that I need a sunny photo now.... :-)

I really like the lines and contrast here. The light of the water on the left in contrast to the lines of the dock really are spot on.

One of my favorites...love the lines of the boardwalk. The blackness is rich looking.
