[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
For many years, especially during the 1920's and 30's, this spot was home to Buckeye Lake Amusement Park. The link includes a lot of photos of the park in its heyday as well as descriptions. This guest book includes many anecdotes.

I believe these pilings were part of the "The Dips" roller coaster's foundation. Now it is a popular fishing spot. I thought the light was good and liked how stark the cement structures were, rising from the water.

Were time travel possible, I'd put myself back to the time of the Big Bands, catch a show, and take a ride on that coaster.

I like it. I would take it probably further by cropping the top part. I like the colors very much. And the top part is a bit distracting.

I liked this foto. It's very quit and sad.

I'm looking at your photo and thinking that you could have chosen an horizontal view with th pillars in the lower right. Coverted it to BW with high contrasts and brightness and soften it a lot. This would make a good negative space image. See dsidwell photos here in TE. He's got some images like this quite interesting.

Considering the previous the way you captured the pillars is good. Nice light, reflections and textures.
