It looks like those colours were worth getting up for My preference is the first where the pier is just acting as a lead into the sky and sea. I can see that in the second the pier is intended to be the subject, but for me it's too dominant.

Agree very much with the above! I prefer the composition of number 1. The colours in both are fabulous, and I like that in 1, you have more water in it, and the water has a lovely texture to it, and is not 100% milky effect.

Thank you both, appreciate the comments. I shot another with the big stopper that I'm yet to process.

I'll go against the flow. I like them both but prefer the second. the huts are interesting and I like the light onthem and the string of lights leading in.

Thanks Simon!
We're all different so going against the flow isn't a bad thing, just shows how we all see things differently

Appreciate the comment

Hurry up, just getting into big stopper myself.

The colours are superb ! The second one edges it for me. I like the higher viewpoint and extra detail visible in the huts/kiosks

Yes very nice.

Mental colours, for that reason the B&W does not even compare.

I really like that the lights are on too.

 

[cardiff_gareth]

Thanks Craig! Yes, I was lucky with the lights as about 10 mins after I took these images they switched off!

The mono needed its own thread to be appreciated.
