This is the second of two shots of this structure. In some ways I think I prefer the previous one – it seemed much bleaker – but I also like this one too. As always I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, either about this one or about how you think the two compare.

Realy interesting, better than the first one. I like the combination of colors, the beach (sand) looks like soft stoned texture! Well done ^^

It was obviously your intention to put the two contrastnig shots together because I much prefer the 2nd shot as it's more of what I like about your photography, it seems to have a mild toning effect applied ? Yesterday's is bleaker, but also feels more untouched by you CS3 fingers and for that reason, for me, I prefer todays.

The shore is just so captivating to me... I love both. The world seems to have a greenish tint in this photo. The endless perspective is awesome.

One of my favourite locations....
I think both are strong images the framing and your undoubted processing skills have emphasised the contrasting possible narrative within each shot. As for which is best I guess that would depend on your mood at the time of viewing, I actually think they would sit well together hung in the same room....
Much more interesting texture on water here, but I personally like the previous one more.

The more rigid composition and straight lines of this image fit well with the oddly calm, flat sea - I prefer this to yesterdays more dynamic pic. Your sea/beachscapes always fill me with the urge to move to the coast.

The sand at the bottom looks like it came from a different photo and was photoshopped in =)

I like the previous image much more than this. I like the smoother texture, the more distant viewpoint and the aspect ratio more in that image. This structure is more enigmatic when you can't see it in detail, in close up it loses its air of mystery. The one thing about the previous image that I wish was not there, is the bouy in the distance.

Thanks all.
Justin: yes, this was toned using a Curve.

I really like the simplicity of this composition. You seem to be able to do that a lot -- leaves lots of room for the imagination and nothing in your shots to clutter up my mind. That's fabulous photography!

I like this one more because of the texture of the sand and the shape of the wave in the foreground.
Like it Dave, the out of focus stones are a bit distracting but not that much it spoils the image ;)
