Well, this is the last of the St. Annes shots – for the time being at least – but I think that it's one of my favourites. Let me know what you think.
On another matter: you might want to drop by ddoi today and take a look at Sam's latest entry. As I'm sure that many of you are aware Sam has been plagued by a particularly unpleasant troll over recent months and he's now instigated a public poll to see whether his visitors think the troll – "chemical imbalance" – should be banned. I know which way I voted.

Dontcha hate not being able to get to the 17mm?
comment bydjn1 at 09:18 PM (GMT) on 17 November, 2004
Houser: yes, while the equivalent of 27mm is ok, 17mm would me better. That said, I suspect that full-frame DSLRs will drop in price over the next year or so – at least when they do I'll already have the lens ;-)

This is really well composed with the shining buldings at the RH side. But I prefer yesterday's . For me It's got more drama or something.
Glad to read about your daughter, I remember ear infections. Always at night for some reason. Keep taking the Amoxil.

i'm torn between the two. this one is definately calmer and brighter to me, and you captured perfectly the rippling of the water against the sand. but i think i too like the last one better, it seemed to be overall a more powerful image.
comment bymiklos at 10:34 PM (GMT) on 17 November, 2004
The gold on the right hand side throws me right off. I love the sky in this one, but I like the bottom half of the previous image more. Hrm...

Great Shot! But I think my favorite from this series is still "tide down #4". Not sure why. It just is :-). As for ddoi's problems with the nasty troll, I agree that his tolerance is far higher than mine. I probably would have simply banned and removed his comments without saying a word. I doubt anyone would complain, or even notice.
comment byriff at 10:49 PM (GMT) on 17 November, 2004
I like the way how the clouds and the reflections 'point' to the horizon.. gives it a very acute point of interest.. and how the right side of the buildings reflect more light than the left, gives it this photo something I'm at a loss for words for..
I really like this shot. :)
comment bytif at 11:10 PM (GMT) on 17 November, 2004
I'm trying to train my eye to be a bit more emotional and less technical (cuz I see everybody else do it and think "why didn't I see it that way"). I like this shot better than the previous, but I think it's just because I find it easier to name a feeling. I'm probably way out in left field, but this says "attack" to me, with the foreboding darkness creeping up on the shoreline. In fact, I think the composition of the buildings at dead center enhances the feeling that the shoreline is "in the sights" so to speak.
comment bydjn1 at 11:48 PM (GMT) on 17 November, 2004
I did wonder if people might prefer yesterday's ;-)
tif: for some reason this one reminds me of Douglas Adams' Restaurant at the End of the Universe – so I'm probably even further out in the left field than you ;-)

I think you were right yesterday that this shot is more surreal: Yes, the rippling of the water and the 'tiny-town' give it a very surreal feeling, but it seems...well, I guess the best way to describe it would be 'plastic'. I don't know, I just think that yesterday's shot was a bit more personal.

This one's my favorite of your series.
The colors are truly amazing
comment byroozbeh at 08:57 AM (GMT) on 18 November, 2004
great, i love this series.
comment byIris at 09:42 AM (GMT) on 18 November, 2004
i think, all great photos are personal and bring fresh or intense feeling to others, otherwise, they will lose attraction.
comment by Donna McMahon at 10:15 AM (GMT) on 18 November, 2004
Great shot, it feels like you're being engulfed by the clouds.
comment bymario at 10:23 AM (GMT) on 18 November, 2004
I'm not sure which one I prefer..they're both special in their own way. The previous one is dedicated to solitude..carrying a message that we do have a need to have somebody to rely upon. And the other one looks like a long train..a simbol of civilisation (used to be). And I like it's sky reflection better.
comment bydjlight at 11:30 AM (GMT) on 18 November, 2004
Great this one (also the other) but this one has a wonderful light a wonderful color e wonderful mirror effect.
Nice work!

Wow! Great reflections, fantastic colours, beautiful shot, It's like a dreamscape!
comment by Kim at 02:43 PM (GMT) on 18 November, 2004
Once again, I am actually winded by one of your photographs. Seriously, I lose my breath! It's the post processing that really puts the magic in your pics. Not only have you and Sam of ddoi inspired me to pick up my camera again, but to make it digital... which I never thought I'd do. Your work is beautiful. Thank-you for sharing it!
comment bykane at 04:00 PM (GMT) on 18 November, 2004
The scene is so very surreal. Beautiful capture.
comment byWen at 04:02 PM (GMT) on 18 November, 2004

It is several time I'm looking your pictures day by day or some per time. I find them lovely and amazing. To see them is light for the day.
Thank you.
