Pier #1

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 14 October 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

This is the first of a series of shots I'll be posting of this ruined pier at Fort William in Scotland

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

A fine B/W image. The sky is fantastic,(it nearly always is up here) and makes this image. Beautiful capture.

This looks like Doom herself is approaching . . the sky is terrifying when seen this way! Very effective presentation.

@Reza: Thanks Reza, I know what you mean, the upload seems to have done some serious softening!

DarkElf from Perth, Australia

superb dramatic composition really enhanced by the use of b&w - the clouds look especially menacing and threatening...
