If I had any shots in reserve I might not have bothered posting this one as I'm not entirely happy about the composition, especially the way in which one of the kiosks on the pier is obscured by the telegraph pole in the foreground, but I really couldn't find a position that worked better. That said, I'm sure there probably was one.

Anyway, I probably wouldn't have bothered with the shot but I'm trying to document the ongoing restructuring of our seafront – albeit rather intermittently – and as I don't imagine that these poles will be there for all that long I didn't want to miss the opportunity.

I love your ability to make a wooden poll on the beach a great photo. I (and most others) probably would have walked right by it or stood right where you were and say "Damn I wish this poll wasnt in the way!". lol.

Awesome black and white conversion as well. Did you use the black and white tool in CS3?
