Pier along the Ponchartraine

Here's an early morning shot of a pier along the northern shore of Lake Ponchartrain @ Fontainebleau State Park in Southeast Louisiana.

nice perspective and color

Everything works,... composition, exposure, clouds, water,... but that danged tree is distracting. Short of backing your pickup up to it and hooking up a chain,... naw, they wouldn't let you do that. I would be tempted to try cloning out the tree.

Thanks y'all....
Jon...you are correct, they would not let me touch that tree! Besides, I don't know if my MiniCooper would pull it out! I might try cloning it out.

Good picture. I like composition colors and lighting and contrary to Jon I appreciate that presence of the tree. I agree that it could be distracting but for me it adds a stark contraposition between man-made structure of the pier and a nature-created now dead tree.

I tried removing the tree, but in the end, I liked it there. Just personal preference I guess.

Nice work

I like this. Nice shot.

Were the clouds moving fast or do they look that way through PP? Lovely photo BTW!

Beautiful, great colors
