The image above was taken by Guy Le Querrec at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1980. It depicts the preparation of the reception for the movie "The Man With Bogart's Face" in the French Riviera.
The slats of wood that make up the pontoon give it the most striking appearance against the water because of the vertical lines. The rail attached to the pontoon brings the vertical lines up to the center of the photograph. In the background, the boats break up the horizon. In the foreground, the table echos and emphasizes the vertical lines further.
The most beautful part of the photo is the intersection of the solid vertical lines of the dock and the less rigid horizontal line of the waves hitting the shore. The shoreline brings softness to the rigidity of the main point of the photo.
