Interesting comp, the very bright areas (poss blown) look cool I think, and work for it, rather than against....just tell me you did that on purpose and I'll believe you. :D

I like the colour one most... warmer and fresher compared to the startling black and white I find. :thumbs:

:O! you were in exmouth the other week and didnt tell me?! Shocker!

I prefere the B&W version myself, think it adds a slight abstract feel to the shot which works for me. I like the composition, and the off-level angle at which you took it as well works with the scene. Good stuff!

B&W for me! Nicely seen and nicely dealt with!

The figure on the railings works really well. Stranger or male model? :D

Thanks for the comments guys! :D

ForbiddenBiker - er yes..of course I did the whole blown out thing on purpose! :suspect: haha I felt the same as you about it working in the photo, especially the colour one :)

Woodsy - that was the weekend I was in Exeter too! You knew about it :) a little while ago...thanks for the lovely comment

Dark Star - thankyou! :D

Baz777 - haha I didnt plant him there, he was a really sweet old guy who chatted to me after I took the picture and talked to me about the area...he had lived there since he was little :)

Like both v much but B&W is very striking, a bit of bias as its my home town and i have been away for way too long. Very good and you managed to catch it on a sunny day.

Like the composition and the figure on the rails really works. Prefer the B&W the silhouettes stand out more and the bright sunny area adds a sort of mysterious element to the whole scene. Love the stark look of the palms against the blank sky :thumbs:
