Dan is the water tidal, I would like to see more of the posts exposed. As it is they are too small within the frame. Maybe a change of lens is called for. There is a good picture to be taken there.
Tex: this body of water is a river that is near its terminus into Lake Michigan. Although larger than many seas in the world, the Great Lakes do not have tides. I agree with you that there is a good picture here, and fortunately it is only a few miles from my house so I can revisit it often.
