What you're motivated by is ... "coloured light," and all you have here is a jim-jam of a B&W marina. :-( > When light is gone, all you have are ghosts > http://www.dragonsgate.net/pub/richard/PICS/081506/crop0037.jpg Holy sufferin' cat fish!! Was it a wavey navey water night and things were heaving back and forth from the waves to create off balance near make you sea sick shooting at an angle like this? Quite frankly it looks like one of two things. 1: By this time in the evening you've had one too many and this is what the world looks like. ;-) Or this is an accidental exposure as you were walking along? :-) Trust me it just doesn't work particularly when "you are chasing light" and shooting in B&W! Sorry to sound so hard stomping, but that's life. I bet the next time you'll shoot this on colour. No offence meant, ted
