Definitely prefer this one - the tones are far more condusive to the atmosphere. Great shot.

I like the lighting in this photo better than the last one. It just seems like its older. I can't really describe it.

Another great shot! I think i like the mood of this shot better than the last one... however, I think I like the composition better on the other. Keep up the great work!

cheekylittlemonkey [2006-02-16 22:26:36 +0000 UTC]

like the darkness, the grain and the sepia hue. A human element, such as something, an object, a piece of clothing, left on what remains of the pier would be quite thought provoking although appreciate that this might not have been possible for you to do. I like the crop to, nice and balanced. Great pic.

Thank you for the detailed critique . It would have been quite impossible unless I just happened to have a boat with me . I agree though, it would add a whole new element to the shot. Thanks again .

It looks good in sepia too. Did you try another angle too, with the subject off-centered? << I'm almost sure this phrase is not 100% correct, please ignore the mistakes.

BuckNut In reply to Nadia1956 [2006-02-15 19:05:11 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately this is the only angle I got of this, but *MariusStormcrow has a different shot with the pier off-center in his gallery, here ~ [link] . You should check his out too . Thanks for the comment

very good! the subject is excellent; and the composition aswell as the sepia scale makes it even more so the well crafted mood in this is memorizing, great work!

I'm glad to give it

Part of my comment didn't show so I have to write this down
The fact that bridges leading out to to water is somewhat of a subgenre in dA (the beggining, the end concept) makes this even more rewarding.
In this almost methaforic way that there is no real end and beginning (seeing as it don't lead out from shore to the water, it is without it's purpose) isn't just surreal but also brilliant - a well crafted twist to the mentioned genre.

MichaelLaird [2006-02-15 14:32:08 +0000 UTC]

Very cool subject! The lighting on the water around the sunken pier is pretty cool. I think this probably would have looked better with a tighter composition, there's too much space around the pier. (IMHO )

BuckNut In reply to MichaelLaird [2006-02-15 17:59:10 +0000 UTC]

Did you see the other shot of this in my gallery? It's got much less water in it. Just wondering, since you commented on the space around the pier .

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MichaelLaird In reply to BuckNut [2006-02-15 22:22:35 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I actually did, but commented on this one because it's the better of the two. The other shot, "Lost" (I think that's what your talking about ), is too light, and the sky is far too blotchy, especially in the center where it's just a flat 'white'. This shot has much more depth and a darker tone to it. I guess the type of composition I was thinking of would be one that just focuses on the pier and water (no horizon or sky). But don't mind me... I'm probably just in a 'mood' today
