Photo of the Month Comp - Jan '08

[El Peligroso]

OK, so i'm sure you all know the rules by now...

... but I guess for any new members out there

Only one entry each month
Photo must have been taken that month
(please be honest as I have no way of checking)
No Photoshop editing
(true images only please - although watermarks are allowed should the photographer feel it necessary)

A winner will be picked at the end of each month by a highly regarded photography expert, failing that I guess I'll be choosing

Also comments on other people entries are very much welcomed, although please be as constructive as possible.

So one final thing... Go get busy snapping

The West Pier Jan 2008

nice xD

Nice shot. As a suggestion, try cropping out everything below (and including) the shoreline as well as the 2 masts on either side.
That structure on its own in the water would make for a much more powerful shot.

Although I do agree with your suggestion a part of me feels without any foreground I would lose any sense of distance or depth, it was a small window to capture the sunshine and colour of the sky, if I had more time I would have preferred to gone down to the beech and found a different subject for the foreground - alas, time was not on my side.
