Posted by sun at February 20, 2007 01:48 AMwhat a wonderful mood you caught with this pic!
Posted by ksklein at February 20, 2007 02:15 AMWonderful colour-treatment in here. The overall composition is good, I love the 2 Dimensions you created with for-and-backround.
Posted by Martin at February 20, 2007 03:28 AMI like this alot more than your other versions of the pier. Great colors as always.
Posted by steefje at February 20, 2007 05:07 AMvery nice composition, nice color.
Posted by krossi at February 20, 2007 06:04 AMAwesome, cold but lovely.
Posted by Mohamadreza at February 20, 2007 07:13 AMTerrific image. I love the processing! Although the expansive sky is beautiful, I think I might prefer it with a more traditional, or even square crop (my monitor's limited size is making me look at it this way). Regardless, its great.
Posted by Brnat at February 20, 2007 07:20 AMBeen lovin your photo's of Brighton, I live there/here.... but was bemused by this one... how on earth have you made a summers day look so dark ?
Posted by Andy at February 20, 2007 07:35 AMAgain, the colours work well. The detail is brought out nicely. Good processing as usual.
Posted by Jeremy at February 20, 2007 07:41 AMSigh...a lot of people are posting summer scenes to try and usher out the cold Winter and usher in the Spring and Summer. Beautiful.
Posted by Laurie at February 20, 2007 08:07 AMLooks cold.
A shot of the nude beach on Toronto Island might be an interesting contrast - now that the nudes are gone and the beach is 'clean', if frozen. (Or did that nude beach trip die? Not being there leaves me info starved. - And I'm not really against that beach - I just think it funny.)
Posted by Hugh Petrie at February 20, 2007 08:54 AMGorgeous photo. First time I visit here. Greetings from Istanbul.
Posted by Oya at February 20, 2007 09:46 AMKind of going overboard with the desaturated blues, aren't you?
Congratulations. One the beautiful and poetica photo.
Posted by Nazzareno at February 20, 2007 09:52 AMThis is a great image with a superb composition :
The position of the women and pier, the sky over 2/3th...
And the colortones...
WOW !
Posted by Maarten at February 20, 2007 11:32 AMNice detail. I really like this shot.
Posted by Alice at February 20, 2007 01:36 PMvery good one! really like slightly muted colors and composition..two girls fit greatly! thanx for sharing
Posted by david chabashvili at February 20, 2007 01:50 PMLots of interest going on here - from the course sand and the two girls in front, all the way up to the stormy-looking sky. Interesting mix!
Posted by Photo Buffet at February 20, 2007 03:00 PMI also suspected that this picture had been desaturated but I don't mind that at all. I believe that a photographer can be more than just a capturer of images and is allowed to be an artist as well, having license to manipulate images. After all, what is Photoshop for? Should we remove the application from our PCs in case we alter a photo? Anyone can take a photo of something and leave it alone. In that case the camera, an electro mechanical device, has done most of the work, except for framing, angle etc. The editing process gives us an opportunity where our creativity can come into play and we can put more expression into our works. Anyway, I think your site is about visual experiences and I like the experience of this one. I particularly like the mood that you have created here. I must also say that the inclusion of the two girls is spot on! Cheers,
Posted by Gavin Hart at February 20, 2007 03:33 PMIt was actually quite warm in Toronto today. I was very surprised when I walked out the door in the morning. Great picture!
Posted by David at February 20, 2007 06:03 PMThanks for posting large pictures... Those of us with large monitors appreciate them :)
Posted by asdf at February 20, 2007 07:42 PMThe desaturated blues is obviously intentional here and I also do not think it's overboard. The fact that there are only 2 people at the beach, make this seem like a distant memory that one would remember with less clarity and saturation of colors.
As though maybe you were one of only 2 people on the entire beach. That's what this scene reminds me of and it takes me to a cool place.
Posted by Chad at February 21, 2007 12:41 PMSomething bleak about these stone beaches, at least to me, is well captured here.
Posted by Peter F at February 23, 2007 04:16 AMgreat composition and sky
