Here's another shot of Blackpool's North Pier, taken a few minutes before my last entry, and in some ways I think I prefer this one. As always though, let me know what you think.

My latest Critique Slot Screencast is now live. These are a part of our online tutorials and are based on an image submitted by one of our members. The basic idea of each screencast is to work through the original image (critiquing the various changes that were made) and then reprocess the image from the original RAW file.

Wow ! This just pops off the screen with WELL DONE written all over it ! Love the composition / POV. It's perfect. The B&W and toning is so subtly done, gives the scene an older time (when things were...different...) feel.

I can nearly feel the cold and damp. Very "Blackpool in the winter".
I like it a lot :-)

I really like the mood in this one, as Dan & Libby also did. It really reminds me of "old days." My only question is in regard of the "tilting" is it completely even? Might just be my old head :P.

Here I am in Blackpool land again! Beautiful image David. Hard to judge between the two... for me anyway :) Love the processing choices for both images.

Great toning and fine detail. Love the big wheel at the background.

I Like them both. This one, I like being closer to the pier and being able to see the details. In terms of color toning, I prefer the previous image over this one. However, I don't think the color toning from the previous image would work all that well with this one.
I like what your changes did to the tone of light. The composition gave you a lot to work with. I like the way the background pier is a bit ghostly and sort of a shadow of the one in the foreground.

Brilliantly processed as usually. Great work, David!
