Thanks, Rick!
You're doubtless right about the logging economy of old Aberdeen.
This area appeared to have had an array of docks/wharfs, in all
likelihood, to serve that economy.
Quick shot of an accidental discovery on our way somewhere else. As

Jack,
I like it just the way it is. My hunch would be that
old Aberdeen's economy was based on logging, so the
photo is illustrative. It also works well for me
artistically. More light on the logs would cause them
to compete too much with the background, IMHO.

I certainly could have lobbed off the far shore line buildings, but
found them sorta quaint. In this setting, I don't feel the the logs are
strong enough on their own.
Obvious I suppose, but My feeling is, that they need each other.

I like this as shot. The foreground logs could have stood on their own, but I
like the way they point to the shoreline. The dark foreground is appropriate.

This one I have mixed feelings about. It almost feels like there are
two subjects vying for my attention. The foreground logs and the
waterfront buildings. I would almost pick one or the other and make
that subject more dominant. Either cut out the sky/waterfront or most
of the logs in the fore
Driving from Astoria, OR to the Olympic Peninsula, WA, we passed
through Aberdeen, WA. Thought later I should have gone back to the car
and gotten a flash just to say I'd tried it.
The foreground being a homogeneous tone strikes me as the way I would
have chosen it anyway. Just didn't give myself
