Thanks.

This  is one of the very few times when I have stood in the pouring rain to 
get
the shot I really wanted! But in Barbados the rain is warm... The fishing 
boat
was just drifting across, so I waited for it. I had actually taken a look at 
the
pier on a number of other occasions and sized it up. It just happened that on
the day that I went over to have a good look the weather broke big time - so 
it
all came together.

I composed based on the verticals of the poles and the edge of the pier. The
horizon must be an optical illusion caused by the enforced verticals.

Happy New Year,

Peter
