Cromer Pier

[Rob Wright]

I had a jolly out with the camera last night and took these two on Cromer pier. Would love any C&C please - rip them to pieces if you wish as any criticism will be taken on board to improve them next time.
Thank you.

Not keen on #1, too much going on, the benches don't seem to provide a focus point, they just get in the way. Sorry.

#2 is better but I think it needs the horizon straightening, seems to be leaning to the left.

both lean to the left, like No 2 the best.

Agree with previous comment regarding number one. However, with a straighten and a crop to just about the roofline of the two buildings, the chairs seem to be more of a focal point again (Might also be worth considering the removal of the lamp-post behind them).
Lighting wise, I think it works very well.

Number two, once straightened is far better compositionally. They're both well exposed and nice and sharp, so overall a good attempt.
