Critique Welcomed Lobster Traps I Think

[Brian Moore]

Lobster traps (I think--@Julian de'Courcy: Perhaps you can confirm?) on Terminal Island, California.

I like this very much, from the tones to the distortion. And is that a bridge in the distance?

Well spotted, Pete. Yes. That is the Vincent Thomas Bridge. It connects Terminal Island with San Pedro and Wilmington. I composed the image to have the tower visible through the gap between the traps so I'm glad you spotted it. Thanks Pete!

I like the way the stack of traps and the towers of the bridge connect.

This is a great shot - I really like it. It's the sort of shot which makes investors in the next best thing in advanced digital cameras get their knickers in a twist. But THIS is photography. I love it!

Love it also Brian. Yes it is either crab or lobster pot, rather than trap , but it is a trap, just a pot trap

That is the sort of place and objects I could spend a long time at shooting away. Seems you got a good one first off.
I posted one here a while ago, in my wobble stage.

I'd forgotten how much I liked the wobbly ones!

So do I , I wonder sometimes why I take the images I do rather than the more creative ones.

Really appreciated, Rob. Thank you!

I don't remember that one, Julian, although I do recall your wobble stage, which was delightful. This one's delightful, too. For some reason it conjures Italy in my mind's eye. Venice, to be precise. Thanks for the fishing terminology correction, Julian.

I guess it is all those moving gondola shots one sees.
