 It was a little before sunrise. I was killing time waiting for the full moon to rise to get a shot for the Super Moon challenge. There were a few other photographers and spectators also awaiting the moonrise. Unfortunately, given the cloud cover the moon never made an appearance.

When I first read the Focal Point challenge I imagined a composition with a lot more going on but with a single point that drew your eye. Unfortunately, I searched for that shot this week but never found it. However, I like the textures, light and reflection of this fallback. We will see how others like it.

I like how you used angles and wave movement to add a dynamic element to your photo.
