| This is another great Bobstertlobster study. I am sorry but I allowed the title to lead me and consequently I find the shot perfect bacause the walkway or pier leads the eye right into the mystic. Great tones and great angle. The cutvature adds that dynamic tension which resolves right at the convergence and blending into the horizon. The pearly sky adds a great backdrop with a subdued luminosity that is easy on the eyes. Very hood and way above average study. |

Hmmm, didn't think about that. I guess you could have 'fixed' it when taking the shot, but you may not have had quite the same composition. I have a software-controlled grid which I can overlay on the viewfinder when taking shots, and it helps in instances like this.
All in all it is a great shot though, and I do like the darker nearground (which could be added in PS but that would be cheating wouldn't it;)) These 'rules' are a bit too much sometimes, but that's another discussion... |

Greetings from the Critique Club :)
Hi Bobster...
As I indicated in my original comment, this was one of my favorite photos in this challenge. I think, after I had the chance to view them all, this one still stood at the top of my list. I'm a big fan of well done black and white photos, and this one is no exception. The tonal ranges here are superb and the long, slow flowing curve of the walkway just leads me right into the scene. It makes me feel like I'm standing there with you smelling the salt air and hearing the seagulls in the breeze.
The only thing I see here that I would have maybe tried differently would have been to not let the horizon and the walkway converge. I think this could have been achieved by getting down on your knees to make this photo and bringing the camera closer to the walkway surface.
It takes a good eye to catch a scene like this... great work :)

I didn't add vignetting... it's probably the soft edges reported as a problem with my Optio S in wide angle. Luckily it doesn't spoil the shot too much! If I made the boards vertical... the horizon would slope... are you sure you would want that?! ;)

| Very nice shot. Did you add the vignetting in the lower part of the shot? It works very well here. The only thing I'd be tempted to change would be to rotate slightly so that the strong lines in the center are vertical. |

| Nice use of depth, though I think the title would fit better if the camera position was higher to incorporate more see. |

| Marvelous - the lines of the boardwalk curving out to the horizon, those three people toward the end giving us some scale, very nice range of grays. I might crop a bit off the sky...but perhaps that lends to the feeling of infinite. 9 |

| I really like this one - I would have like to see it in color though. I think the sky blues and wood colors would have mixed well :) This photo does a good job showing infinity - 8 |

| The black and white emphasizes the mood of this picture. Like the curve of the wood. |
