This shot was taken during my Creating Dramatic Images workshop last weekend. We'd spent the morning working through a variety of topics but spent most of the afternoon photographing the seafront and North Pier. I'd been shooting the sea, but was glad I turned round in time to grab this shot.
If you're interested, my good mate Craig has posted an alternative version here:

I love how contrasty rainy days can be since the wetness goes so bright. Im impressed with you shopping out that child, well done!

Nice processing. Looks like an "old" photograph. I just love how the boardwalk turned out.

Great to see how this one turned out, as I watched you press the shutter release at the time! I think I prefer Craig's viewpoint on this one, but this is also a nice shot.
The originl feature shows how much pro your work is. And of course, respect of your abilities. What I do not like here is the touch of unsharpness - a result of wide opened aperture? I'm not sure, but I would have had prefered an smaller aperture for getting mor deep sharp details. Anyway, great scene - I also like Craigs version, maybe a liitle bit more ;). Cheers!

Thanks all :)
Matthias: I agree, f/2.8 was a good choice. In fact, it wasn't a choice - I'd been shooting the sea at f/2.8 and just grabbed the shot without thinking about the aperture. I'm glad I did, but I do agree, a bit more depth of field would have helped :)
