At some point in the not too distant past Fleetwood pier was probably a thriving tourist destination. These days it's looking a little the worse for wear, as this shot and tomorrow's will testify.

Did you go back to the thirties to take this pic?? ;-)
It looks so "Annees folles".... except for the DJ mention...

Furanku: there are aspects of the Fylde coast (Blackpool, St. Annes, and Fleetwood) that haven't changed all that much since the turn of the last century - there are echoes of all the decades in between.

Absolutely stunning David -- one of my favorites of the last few months. Well done.
Yes I love this tonally, and the detail....the reflection in the glass says, less pier, more backstreet, but the inside through the glass and the tariff clearly say pier....if that makes sense. I love this split tone effect, it looks like a hand toned black and white thats had chemical enhancement.... lovely...

This definately says 'seaside-Britain-winter-shutdown'. I think I've mentioned this before, but I find that coastal towns seem to come more 'alive' in their charcter during the winter, as this shot proves. I love it.

A HDR in the true sense....looks like a painting...

Thanks all.
rhys: yes, you have mentioned it, and I agree.

Very cool. Did you use Photomatix? I see there's a bit of a noise issue in certain areas: how do you generally deal with that? Noise in heavily-tone mapped HDR images always give me lots of trouble.
