"West Beach scene"
By TYLER BESSE of Beverly
"First and foremost, this photo stood out for its color, or lack of color. This is the first time we have received a black-and-white image from a reader, and we like it because it's different. The texture of the old pier piling is sharp when contrasted with the out-of-focus background, which we assume was deliberate. The repetition of the pylons is interesting, and the photo has an overall eerie quality. You can almost smell the salt and feel the sea spray on your face."
