Thanks Maris. Yes the composition is unconventional at best, however I was trying to balance the lights in the sky against the dark blues in the water and couldnt figure out where felt best on the night so I thought, well, Just go with it in the center.... As for the balancing left to right, well the jetty was where I wanted it, I figured the brightness to the right (West) was enough to balance the composition. The Jetty weighs in heavier than the western setting sun but without the light in the West, the jetty would fade into the shadows anyway...
It was one of those "Do I or Don't I Expose this slide?" moments.. I figured it cant hurt... When I pulled it out of the drum when I developed it I instantly thought "Winner!"
