I have a couple of other shots that are not too dissimilar to yesterday's entry, but I fancied a change today.
As for this shot: unlike the previous few, this is an attempt to capture the dullness of this season rather than its drama – looking out (in this instance, from St. Annes pier) onto a dull, grey day.
Oh, and my apologies for not responding in any detail to the many wonderful comments on yesterday's shot. The cold I had for a couple of weeks has now transferred itself to my wife and our youngest, both of whom are quite unwell.
On which note I'm going to go and tidy the kitchen :-/

great image! although it seems a bit busy to me.

It's awesome how you've captured the detail both in the background buildings and the reflection itself. The shining bright reflections contrast the darkness of the background houses very nicely. I, for one, love this. Nice addition to the chromasia collection.

I like this too. Think you've succeeded with what you set out to do. The sepia works well too.
I guess the wife and daughter being ill doesn't really help you with this weeks Photo Friday theme of Family then either! ; ) Let's hope they recover before Friday!

It's like a double shot: I have to force my eyes to go right and left to take all the elements of the image.
Strange effect and great work!

i am all about some reflection shots! although i dont think my teacher cars much for them in my work, but its my art...not his...hehe

As you know these are some of my favorite shots (to look at and to shoot); I love the backwards 5 and your reflection and the absence of full color really makes the shot for me =)

Yes. This works. This is sort of shot by you that Ireally like . You keep on seeing new things.
I feel the compsition isn't quite finished, i.e. it needs that tallest building slighly to the left (about where I imagine your camera is ) (see yesterdays comment about being retentive!)

Nice, very interesting! A similar concept to my "Flowers in the Window" I feel. link

lovely shot. I love the effect the reflection has in this photo

I must say that you certainly have an eye for the reflection shots. Very well done.

An interesting shot, but it doesn't do much for me.
I don't know that I can really say why. Maybe it would have benefitted from a bit more contrast? Though, that might have destroyed the 'double-image' effect.

Thanks all.
PhilB: thanks. And my wife and daughter are both a bit better today so I should be able to get something together for this week's Photo Friday.
peterv: you might be right, but I suspect that the top right of the image might look a little empty.
Mike: yes, I agree, though I think I prefer your shot.
Tristan: I did try a more contrasty version of this shot but it a) changed the mood considerably, and b) lost a lot of detail, so I went with this version.
