Spent a few hours on Cromer Beach today and got more than enough shots to last me through the rest of the pinhole side challenge.

The duo diagonal is very effective in this. To me, the 50/50 horizon looks tilted enough to be distracting - but that could be an illusion caused by the foreground. Otherwise, wonderful image.
This one I like a lot, has a nice peaceful feel to it. Probably could be brightened just ever-so-slightly to keep your fisherman from completely disappearing into the dark sea, but I can still make it out fine as it is now. Would hate to lose all that lovely duskiness with too much brightening...
