Spent the past 3 days in Atlantic City and of course took some pictures under the pier. The waves killed my cell phone, that's what I get for venturing to close to the water.

    Wow - now that is fantastic. Not overdone with tonemapping, light from all kinds of angles, compositionally interesting, and a long exposure to bring in a mystical look to it. Awesome.

    Love pier shots. Great light in this one. Sorry about your phone.
  • Sidney // 2008-04-23 19:50:32

    Again your pictures are amazing !
    Well worth the loss of a cell phone ! ;-)
  • sherri // 2008-04-23 20:31:34

    I still cannot believe the graffiti under this place. I can't fathom how anyone accomplishes it. These images are splendid, but still scare me just thinking of that tide coming in around you.
  • vera // 2008-04-23 21:15:14

    next time try to loose your camera for the best close up ! excellent shot and post processing- i suppose your cell phone followed the arrows of exit, did you find it??
  • James // 2008-04-23 21:23:57

    Excellent post-processing...it has a dream-like quality.
  • Jewlya // 2008-04-23 22:35:42

    Wow - what a shot. I like the perspective, the colors, the softness of the water, and the overall composition.
  • petitlouis // 2008-04-24 00:50:56

    Superbe traitement !
  • Jan Erik Moström // 2008-04-24 01:45:20

    Sorry about the phone ... but it was probably worth it. It's actually looks nicer under the pier than above. Nice,
  • Frank // 2008-04-24 02:15:17

    Wow, very nice colours.
  • Chris/Aperture Image // 2008-04-24 02:21:22

    Another favourite John, great sense of being there comes through.
  • M a d . P h o t o . W o r l d // 2008-04-24 02:25:47

    Better the phone than the camera ;)
    All the red signs down there make me think of some sort of maze
  • jump // 2008-04-24 04:09:55

  • Anita Bower // 2008-04-24 11:23:29

    Wow! The red graffity or paint dribbles add pow the this shot. Did you get into the water? Is that how your cell phone got wet? I'm glad it wasn't your camera!
  • sil // 2008-04-24 13:06:04

    Fantastic capture! Gorgeous treatment too. Well done!

  • Sean // 2008-04-24 16:51:19

    The underside of the pier is so rich with detail. The orange spray paint seems like it's glowing.
  • Hess // 2008-04-24 16:59:53

    Great tones in this shot, John. Nicely done. Better your cell phone than the Nikon, eh?
  • Slyvain // 2008-04-24 17:33:47

  • Tom Sheehan // 2008-04-24 19:18:06

    It looks like it was a good photographic trip John...

    You do such a nice job with all of your images John, but these type of water/pier shots are exceptional. Nice work. :)

    Sorry about the phone. :(
  • Kevin from OrganicPIX.com // 2008-04-24 20:21:35

    I declare John you make the most challenging things pretty.
    Could I get you to take my picture ?! ;-o
  • susan // 2008-04-24 20:40:14

    I like these views from under the pier. They always have such colorful detail and light!
  • Jean-Marc // 2008-04-24 22:30:09

    The red painting symbol over stand this one.
  • Michael Rawluk // 2008-04-24 23:26:48

    The next time I get to the ocean I am going to check out the view below the piers.
    That is so cool.
  • m a r t a // 2008-04-25 02:25:04

    Well, at least it wasn't the camera. Beautiful work here John. I love it.
  • Marie // 2008-04-25 05:02:01

    magnifique, cet endroti coloré doit être très beau à voir ! Belles couleurs dans cette image bien compsée.
  • darkcapitaine // 2008-04-25 07:42:40

    joli traitement pour cette confrontation de plans verticaux et horizontaux
    j'aime bien les inscriptions rouges qui viennent 'humaniser' l'ensemble
  • daina // 2008-04-25 08:14:57

    Terrific angles above and like the sense of a tunnel leading to the open sea.
  • AC // 2008-04-25 09:35:19

    Did you actually go under the structure for this snap? Like the "framed light" effect you have captured.
  • miss75 // 2008-04-25 09:53:43

    L'endroit n'est pourtant pas très beau mais ta photo est sublime
  • Oswegan // 2008-04-25 11:15:29

    I love these under the pier views. They have a tunnel vision affect on me.
  • Beeps and Chirps // 2008-04-25 13:27:34

    Nice one John...I can just imagine the tide rolling in... or out.
  • tom // 2008-04-25 14:04:26

    Wow. You are going underground :-) The light is gorgeous.

    Super cool, John. I like how we get to escape into the open air at the end of the pier.
  • Mindy // 2008-04-27 10:37:28

    The striking red numbers/letters makes me think this is a flooded underground parking lot. Spectacular photo. The water texture is terrific.

    Really outstanding image - great rendering and an amazing lighting..
  • bill // 2008-05-01 18:56:01

    Lovely. Is this a wonderful example of Nikon's CLS flash or did you wait around for perfect light?
  • Alejandra // 2008-05-03 18:53:53

  • yz // 2008-05-07 13:23:45

    This one is my favourite. I feel some mystery about it. I also like very much the strong red figures.
