A bridge to no where

I took these shots at the weekend at Dunbar on the east coast of Scotland. This bridge is known as a bridge to no where as it is located on the beach serving no useful purpose whatsoever. I just happened to be there when the tide was out but managed to get Bass Rock in the back ground. I have seen photos of this bridge taken with the tide in and it really does look good on a long exposure especially with a little sea mist.
Bass Rock is white with the large number of Gannets that breed there. C & C always welcome in order to improve.
Cheers
Bob

    This is the first time I have posted a thread and not having received a reply. I would really appreciate if anyone can tell me why. I did have my thoughts about it when I posted it.

    Bob, I haven't posted much in a long time, but I think maybe because people are busy they don't take the time to post. I know I typically don't post a comment unless I find the image for appealing to me.

    I think there are some positive parts to some of your images, some great clouds. On my monitor the images seem to be a bit over processed. Most of the compositions seem crowded with the horizon tipped one way. I think that perhaps had the water tide been in that these may have been more interesting, just not much here to hold my attention. But remember, that's just one mans opinion.

    regards,

    Phil
    I don't know where I'm goin, but I'm goin anyway.

    Not every thread get comments, Bob. It happens to the best of us and if this is the first time it's happened to you then you're lucky indeed.

    As for the thread, well... you have multiple pictures of the same subject, the first two of which are identical except for the processing. The second version is very strange. Not sure what you were trying to accomplish here. The next two are similar but not identical compositions as if you're asking us to decide which is best for you. The horizons are all tilted which is pretty sloppy for someone who's been a member here as long as you have. In the future I would limit the number of similar shots of the same subject, and put more care into the ones you've selected. Give us your best work.

    The Bridge to Nowhere is cool though, I'll grant you that. thumb.gif

    Thanks Phil and Kdog for your comments which I truly appreciate. I have to agree with what you say and I will not make the same mistakes again.
    Cheers
