I love the colors here, but b/c they're so bright, I'm not getting a desolation feeling.

Nice photo. The pebbles in the foreground contrasted with the very still water makes this interesting to look at. The ruins of the pier fit the challenge well.

great capture. love the misty feel of the water. not too fond of the amount of space the rocks in the foreground take up.

Nicely composed, but the colors are too unatural for my tastes.

I was going to do this myself but i`ve done it twice before already in challenges.
I like the misty looking sea but the stones look a bit pixelated still a 7. Good luck.

Awesome colors!! Is the wall in the foreground made of colored pebbles? A very nice, clear picture!!

whatever it was... it sure is desolate! I love the color of the background. The rock in front add to the total composition.

Yes this is desolation. The blue blackground gives much to it. I would try to find a spot to get the most blue of it and get rid of the ground to increase the feeling.

What a great shot. I like how the rust contrasts against the bright blue sky. Good job. Jacko. 9

Colours seem too saturated and zingy to be desolate though I like the image anyway.

I love the colors.

Very cool! Great blue color! I love how the sky blends together with the sea And the yellow color working up against the blue color. Good job :)

this is filled with textures and intricacy
08/14/2003 12:27:57 AM
Cool colors. Interesting photo

Excellent shot, but the beach is quite intrusive and I would have cropped it all out. Flash is a little too intense, which is emphasised by the pebbles.

Love the blue.
08/13/2003 12:22:13 PM
Great colors, the blue sea and sky look great

Nice colour on the background, pretty good feeling of desolation, feeling may have been hightened with less foreground and more detail of the pier.

Well this pic belongs to one of three people I know :-) Whoever it is, good one! I was wondering if I'd get to see this pier again - 9.

A little too dark. Cant make it out well.

This is nearly my top rated pic. I can't make up my mind about it - the garish blue is unsettling and knowledge of the history of destruction is also a factor. Well done for being provocative!

Interesting lighting and colors. I particularly like the two shades of blue.
