Great shot!

One of the bset you've posted of the ol' Tower

love it!
try moving to the north east! I lived in the north west for about 25 years, the north east isn't as damp and chilly (well, ok maybe it is sometimes). this has a wonderful old-time nostalgia feel to it, the toning is spot on.

Stunning shot.

well if winter produces this wonderful work let;s pray for a little bit more of cold weather. Love this one. Looks like my grand ma's old pictures from the port. Love it

Well photographically you don't seem to be doing so badly under the circumstances ;-)

I just love the so so so washed out pink tint... It's got the exact feel of Victorian /Edwardian Blackpool . A lovely balance as well.
When was the tower built Dave?

Looks like it was taken 100 years ago. Very nice. Like the others say, without winter you might have missed this shot.

wow! great capture , love the fog so much .

Very vintage! This works perfectly well.

I'm sick of winter too! I love this shot! The toning is wonderful. Reminds me of something from the 30s or 40s. Great job!

Sorry, I can't sympathize. Winter in Florida is a break from endless days of humid, stifling hot with glaring light.
Like most others, I like the tone and how a combination of it and the gritty seawall dramatically ages the image.

Great reflection shot! The tones are beautiful. I like the texture of the sand in the foreground.

I like it.

I can only agree with Robert. Too many Brits become paranoid about about English weather. I just feel we are are so lucky having consistantly inconsistant weather patterns.
Yes David, I totally agree with you about the 'low light levels' senario at this time of year. But heck man you're a professional now, and should be able to cope with such hurdles and dilemmas. Treat them as a challenge to extend your creative abilities. Laughing ....

Yep. Fully sick of it. And I'm in Austin, Texas where we aren't even suppose to really have a winter. We've had about a month of something resembling a winter this year... getting old.

i've been posting pictures from last summer/autumn lately. i hate how everything's gray in the winter. we didn't have any snow this winter either.

this is a very nice shot. cool old look.

Those shapes in the sand are great. The 'old newspaper look' and the foggy tower top is nice too. Who isn't longing for summer. I'm definately with you on that thought...

I love this... but I prefer photographing Blackpool in summer, so I agree with you. Although... there was some fantastic winter sun yesterday :)

What are you talking about? the lights at its best on Glasgow winter afternoons!

Wow, this shot is amazing! I think you've done awesome with it. Perfect angle. And the lighting is great as well. =).

Wonderful... Thanks to your photos if i went to blackpool i'd already know my way around... :)

Personally I love this time of year; the drama in the weather and the sense of elation when a tiny smidgen of sun decides to pop out. Very British, what? what?! Reflections on sand pictures are a favourite and this is admirable and certainly helped by the toning which gives it a timeless quality, I guess.

I feel the same way david, i'm not normally too eager to get back to the hot sticky weather, but this winter has been crap weather-wise.
I just want one BIG dump of snow first, and looking at the BBC weather site, i may just get it this wed/thu :)

Nice picture btw, the fog didn't get here until about 5pm lastnight, was beautiful all day.
I'm in Pendle by the way

Incredible!!! They moved the Eiffel Tower!!! Which surprising image. The winter light is very beautiful. Cheer

Very good shot! I'm also very sick of winter :) cant wait for a warm spring day to go out and shoot....

This tower really looks like Eiffel !

I feel the same about the weather David...Although..As long as you can produce these kind of great shots...
Love the toning, like you are looking back in Time!
At work we have some Paramedics visiting over from Quatar...They walk around like its Antarctica overhere, dressed like Eskimo's! Lol!
They wish we had their temperatures I guess...

Superb toning: looks like an old 20's postcard.

Great shot! Nice post-processing!

A little flat and dull. The fantastically clear lower part of the image detracts from the supposed aged look imho. Not sure you need to include so much of the promenade, either to achieve your objective, infact the crop in it's entirety is a little questionable. I do, however adore the tidal patterns in the sand, but could curveshave accentuated them even more. There now, that's restored the balance a little....lol! Sorry, David....it's a bit hard to breathe in here.

Thanks everyone, and that includes Psychodudu ;-)

Good shot. Although I'm not so sick of winter yet as it started real late for us. But, I'm sure another couple of weeks will get me wanting warmer weather, too!

Gerat capture... eral MAC ;)

I rather like this. A 50's era sort of shot. Love the way the tower disappears also.

love that crazy fog! where is that tower ?

Great shot. Good angle. Interesting subject. Nicely composed.

Beautiful!

This is an exceptional shot of the tower, magical!

Very magical. Looks it was pulled from the newspapers of the 1920s.

David, one of my favorite shots of yours as of late. Wonderfully done.

Living in India, Calcutta to be precise, winter is the best time of the year :P It gives us a break from hot, humid weather.

Glorious shot!
:)

This is simply superb I like how the tower is covered by mist at the top.

That's one of the more interesting reflections I've seen recently. I love how you can see the tower and the sand under the water equally.
