When looking to compose an outdoor image, there are very few human-made objects that can be used to direct the eye of a view quite so succinctly as a jetty or pier. The leading lines of the structure can be utilized to great effect in either a perfectly symmetrical photograph or to draw the eye to another area of the image. We think these photographs demonstrate well how this can be done. And, composition aside, they're just a cool bunch of photos!
Cheers!

awesome views you put.
the one with photo © 2010 Stephane is fantastic.
Cory Kipa got a magical sunset.
Ben Newton’s has a smiling face shaped by clouds.
so many beautiful views piers or jetties you put.
they’ll be more useful if they were at HD 1920×1080.
thank you creative.
While I agree that the images are, for the most part, exquisite, by the time one gets to the 27th, one is thinking CLICHÉ !
Lake of fire and Amble Pier are may favorites.
All really nice, crisp photo’s. would be great to take some of my wedding clients down to these locations for a shoot.
