A nice strong b&w image. Very nicely seen and captured Steve.

Steve,

You are on something of a roll at the moment.

A great B&W image.

Nice, I love the wide-openess of this shot, the light on light.

gyoung · 02/17/07, 09:30 PM

Thats a very nice picture, and a good time of the year to visit Blackpool too, in the summer you can probably not see the sand!

Yet another stunner, stuns........ yawn

I reckon that there are two other great shots here apart from the portrait one posted.

Thanks guys, I'm still loving this M8. It's nice to be carrying M lenses around rather than R :-)

Pete, I think cropping out the pier would make it stronger - or different at least! I may have been focusing (no pun intended) too much on the pier when I was cropping this in Photoshop. I realised that the kids in the foreground were the most important element, but I thought the pier added something. Now I'm not so sure.

This shot is exceptional.

Steve -

So they let you out of the city once in a while, and I'm glad they did. Terrific contrast, tones, refelctions, composition, depth and angle.

Steve,

nice shot - for a city-boy
