Critique Welcomed Marine Layer

[Chris Dodkin]

Amazing light this evening as the marine layer fog started to roll in after the sun had gone down.

Taken at Oceanside Pier, at low tide.

Lovely shots Chris. Especially that first one. Stunning. The reflections in the wet sand and the patterns in the cloud / fog really are wonderful. And I guess the extra care taken with the metering really paid off is eeking out the last scraps of detail.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, amazing amount of detail for such low light. Love the figure in the middle one, but wanting it in black and white. LOL. You can only please some of the people some of the time!

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Great images Chris. I am guessing you arrived with the electric lighting off .

 

[Beth Anthony]

guess i'm the odd one out, i prefer the color version of the second, but like the humanless comp. of the first one. though any one you choose from the group is stunning.

 

[Paul Lange]

I preferred the 2nd as the person gave the image an extra dynamic and the colours worked well. Also like the fact that the person is not a completely blacked out.

 

[Ahmad Bhai]

Its cool how each photo appeals to different personalities. 3rd appeals to me.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks everyone

I do find it interesting to see what appeals to folks - I like the B&W but also the color, I couldn't decide on just one or the other!

Typical Rob & Beth - never satisfied

They do need to replace that bulb on the left hand tower - spoils the symmetry - first time I've stayed long enough to get the lights Julian.

[Pete Askew]

A stoter! Chris, I wouldn't stand for that if I was you; "Ootside now, laddie!".
