Whitby pier No 2

[kev]

final attempt here, hope you like it.

Well done, much better.....

[Craftysnapper]

Much better Kev.

[Korky]

That works very well indeed - it's clean and simple and really rather good!

Only just seen the critique version and completely agree, much stronger without the buoy

[cuilin]

i'm not sure, it feels like it's missing something on the right side...  j/k.

 

i like the new crop and the lack of distractions.  this one works well.

[kev7d]

Nice one Kev.

The missing thing is exactly what I meant when I said that the right hand element added another dynamic. The, now missing, buoy kept the eye from just heading out to the distance with nothing to stop at. The fact it was diagonal to the left one worked well as the eye traveled down the pier then back to stop at the buoy.

Obviously just my opinion, it's horses for courses and everyone's taste is different.

[cuilin]

I feel the same about the right side. Not sure what but something*............

 

Much better than the first one though

 

*Looked again and I think it's something to do with the curve at the end of the pier - it's pointing to something that isn't there, so there's a kind of missing tension or something ......................

sorry guys, i was just joking, hence the j/k.  i think it looks fine as is.

[THELONGMAN]

Bingo,

J/k or not, It's a lovely clean image but I'm with Graham on this - something is missing. I keep looking at that space

 

Are you sure it's not because there was something there to begin with? I wonder if you'd look at that space if there had never been a buoy in it?

[Cathy]

Liking this! Well done :)

[Phil]

I don't have a problem with the space to the right, but as I have nothing to do but sit and wait for a part for the car to arrive I thought I'd throw a couple of ideas into the mix.

The second one I quite like Phil, as it shows a complete buoy. But most of all I like the simplicity of the 'empty' shot.

[kev7d]

 I don't like the buoy as one does not exist in this location.  

[Phil]

 I don't like the buoy as one does not exist in this location.  

 

Not precisely, no, about 20 feet to the right

 

[kev7d]

There are 2 pier ends at Whitby but no buoy?  

[Phil]

Oh 'eck

[kev7d]

Oui. :)
