The New Grand Pier

The Grand Pier at Weston Super Mare. This has just opened after it was rebuilt following a firewhich had destroyed the old pier.

Comments welcome.

Beautiful shot! Love the reflections and texture in the water. Great example of leading lines, diagonals and rule of thirds. Nice work. :)

I agree Jas. this shot is wonderful! the colour and clarity are brilliant too

Very nicely done. Good control of the exposure and it looks like you picked the perfect time of day. :thumbup:

awesome shot Taffy - Love it!

Ditto on JAS's comment. Love the colour palette as well.

On critique ... not much to say at all really. Maybe been sharpened a bit too much as I can see some artifacts appearing around the wire stays under the pier. Possibly could have use da slightly higher aperture or shutter speed to get that blown out building lights down a bit. But after saying all that, it's really a very good shot as is.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

MA- I think I oversharpened it when I was resizing it for this post.
