It's been a while since I posted a shot of the old pier at St. Annes, and while this isn't especially dramatic I do like it.

I think it's dramatic and I like it as well :) I also appreciate the original for the "you are there" feel. For me, the subtle toning evokes a peaceful feeling. Nice...

The angle and treatment are fantastic! Love the details too! Well done!

Love the perspective and the depth of field in this shot. What plugin do you use for the "show the original button?

Love the P.O.V. And black and white conversion. AND I especially like the dropping that you didn't de-clone. :)

Mmmmm, but this is a "deja vue" of one of yours first tutorials, the toning color images.

Thanks everyone.

Luisa: yes, I do repeat myself occasionally :)

David, This remnant of the pier is about a mile from my house and I always get the urge to go and take photos on the top of it. Alas, my knees won't allow me to scramble up there unaided.

So, in my never-ending quest for photographic enlightenment, my question is this.......... What make of stepladders do you use ?

:o)

I find this an interesting picture because having followed your Blog for a long while one of the things you're exceptional at is keeping the viewers eye exactly where you want it, at the main body of the picture, and in this shot, I find myself distracted by the white blob down in the bottom left.
