Wait, there is a pier in Ocean Beach? Well, the truth is, there isn't... but I did stumble upon some cool remains! This photo was taken yesterday near Fort Funston in San Francisco.
Taken with Canon 1DS MK II, 17-40L, ND8 filter and converted to black and white with Silver Efex.
Thanks for looking! :barb

Processing looks very clean and your comp was really well thought out!

Hey there!
Thanks for the feedback . The photo was taken at around 6 PM. It was still relatively bright out so I had to stack my polarizer and my ND8 filter to get the motion blur in the water. I don't like doing that because it decreases image quality, but I'm still waiting to get my hands on a Lee Big Stopper.
I'm not sure what time Fort Funston closes, but the actual place I took the pictures is a little bit off the beaten trail. If you walk down the beach from Fort Funston, you will see in the distance the remains of the old pier. You can walk up to the edge of a rock face that separates the more "public" beach from a separate beach, further south.
You have to go up and around the rock formation (to the left) to get to the second part of the beach, where I didn't see a soul for the four hours that I was there.
Really great spot

Hey James, thanks for the feedback!! Actually, I already cropped out some of the sky. I actually agree with you . I do like to leave some sky in for perspective's sake. The hard part is going to be finding a printable crop ratio for this image!
I dont know but eitherway this image is someting to be proud of
on second viewing I've started to notice the BG horizon (over the land portion...) is that a pole of some kind..? maybe a little spot brush work is needed??
You have some really great landscapes on your site. In particular, shooting the South Bay area from Skyline was on my to-do list this summer. But seeing those I might not bother.

Hey Aaron, thanks so much for the feedback . In fact, over the land portion is a flag, which is the area where hang-gliders leap off of. It's a small dot at that size, but should be viewable when blown up!

Hey Gary! THank you so much for your feedback. I'm going to take a look and see what it looks like if I bump the contrast a bit in the foreground
