Dawn breaks over the Atlantic Ocean, where one has an ideal view from the Edwin S. Taylor Fishing Pier. The pier, located on Folly Beach, the self proclaimed "Edge of America", is the second longest pier on the east coast.

This image is the cover shot for Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission's Landmark Pier brochure.

    Oh my goodness Doug. Another amazing shot. The colour and the clarity is astounding. I do so like your Velvia Slide film shots and can understand why it was chosen as a magazine cover. Bravo!!

    Oh! My God. Incredible this shot of the Taylor Fishing Pier.
    The tones, the lights, the frame are great.

    Beautiful colors, nice balance between the natural and the artificial lights, and wonderful lines on the railings, pier, walls, etc that form such interesting shapes and are kept so perfectly on perspective.
