Well I would certainly never have expected they were from the same day. One surprisingly warm (although that may be attributed to the day here) and this one quite cool although not cold. Definitely an interesting and surprising contrast.

Almost looks like snow... And I hear it's snowing in the UK anyway.

Super. Can't find the words to describe the feeling when watching this photo...Bravo!

Great photo David. It is almost inconceivable that the two photos were taken only 6 minutes apart.

Do you have a link to the original like the last one? Do you explain how this look is achieved in any of your tutorials? Thanks.

I like the sort of 'distant' feel in this one...

Bella prospettiva e toni ghiacciati per un classico paesaggio.

Wonderful as always. I love the low horizon line. I always say if a photo reminds a person of a different place and time, then it is good. This one does that. Reminds me of some of the piers of Galveston, which are probably gone now due to Hurricane Ike.

soft, ethereal like snow, yet crisp and brittle as the winter (I'm glad it's warm though in LA.)

The EXIF data is always enlightening (I hear myself saying "I have that camera/lens, maybe I can make a photograph this beautiful some day.") But...could you give us just a bit more comment on your processing? It has been (being able to see) your Photoshop layers in the tutorials that has given me the greatest insight into the mind and magic of Nightingale. Thank you again for sharing your vision with us.

I saw a giant crocodile in the water at first glance. :-)

looks like spectacular set from a wintry bond movie

lovely! this makes great use of selective contrast -- the sky is so subtle, but the pier is so crisp. brrrr... glad i live in l.a.:)

So whilst this isn't monochrome (pure mono) whats left in the shot to create these silvery tones, and pencil like effects.... please tell.... csj

very nice composition. I'm really feeling tiny while watching this.

The sky gives a little dramatic effect I believe. Nice work

Wonderful perspective... this is what cold looks like. The pier is so majestic... stubborn against the sea. Beautiful.

This is nice. I like that soft and pastel look a lot!

really looking very cold!

makes me cold just looking at it. :)

I love this look, would love to see a tutorial on this. The tones are a lot like "Barcelona #4" you did a while back. I would love to see more images in this style, it has a very timeless look to it. Great shot! Was this done in Lab Color or is it a b&w toned with a slight bluish green?

Thanks everyone.

Luan: I didn't link the original of this one. As for the tutorials: I drew on quite a few of them on this occassion.

Dan: I used three Curves to adjust the image - one for the foreground, another for the sky, and a third for the pier. I then used a Selective Color adjustment layer to tone the image by adding some yellow to the Whites and a very small amount of cyan to the Neutrals.

csj: see above :)

this is very nice, love this kind of tones

Very nice photo, it gives me a cold feeling!

Love the monochromatic effect. Great composition too.
