 I wanted a longer exposure, but don't have an ND filter and the night was bright.

All of Bens ingredients, but still not a Ben image - probably because I'm not too fond of his style (he has some great images, though) and it wasn't made for the challenge - to be honest, if the challenge hadn't been on I had deleted it right away.

Thanks for your votes, anyway.

Simply beautiful. Processing is spot on. The blurred seagulls. Composition is great... there's a beach and water... wonderful image for the challenge.

I think I was there on a blustery day in May. This is very nice with plenty of interest

Love it and the infinite number of literal and figurative layers.

Stunning blurs, birds, contrasts and motion. All the good Ben things put together.

Excellent use of layered subjects, tones, and movement.

Extremely pleasant shot with a life of its own. A slight extraterrestrial, could be the planet of the gulls. Has all Ben's elements but photographed in a totally different manner.I like it very much.

nice catch indeed :). I would perhaps crop some of the foreground, it is a bit too busy

Love the sky -- the light is so dramatic. Is that a sunset? I like contrast of the dark pier against the white water.

Well, this gets me. Richness in black and white, in simple scene.

I love the layers in this -- sky to earth. The ghostly sea birds add life. Nice conversion.

The movement of the birds is great. Like ghosts on the shore. 7

Now this is awesome, you have a pier, which Ben has in a few photos, and the blurred birds, could be a potential winner.
