As I said I did a couple of pics...

and although I like my PRESENT entry "Under the Pier"....I am torn...between these two. (My present entry in lps 10 and the following one)

Under the Pier....

All By Myself....
You're only as good as your next photo....
One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    Thanks to all that voted....I am relieved now...it appears that "perhaps" I have made a good choice...Under the Pier it is...even if I wasn't supposed to be there..........:D

    I think I am confused. I like the first one here, which I think is the one you have entered so I voted for option 3. ne_nau.gif The current entry looks like a crop of the original entry to eliminate the light showing through on the left between a couple of the pilings. Anyway, I loved the original and love the cropped version more. So that is my vote. Good luck in this tough field!!

    IMHO

    Really, it's a no brainer. Not sure why you got stuck on the other one, but as an objective viewer of it, it at least needs cropping to work. Simply put, the pier cut off at the top of the frame like that with everyone chopped off at the waist, it just a little disturbing. If you recropped it at the bottom of the pier without all the legs and activity going on at the top edge, it would look much better.

    Definitely #1
    IMHO. The 2nd just doesn't have the energy of the first and energy, whether kinetic or in motion, is what I think of when I think of surf. Then again, I'm usually wrong so maybe you should go with the 2nd. Oh shi.... I'm so confused, maybe I should just go to bed.

    (really, I like #1)

    edit: I'm sorry, I didn't see the thighs in the 2nd one the first time around....that changes everthing

    Too Funny JT.....

    The reason I liked number two was because of the "Thighs" in the corner and a number of other reasons...

    Have a good one all, and thanks for the vote/thoughts/opinions...ALWAYS appreciated.

    #2 is really nice. Good perspective on the 3: sand, water & pier. And added with a female lying in the corner. I didn't know number was at first glance, but then I did. clap.gif

    Ha Ha...I wasn't either......I guess you have to see the movie with Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt and Cuba Gooding Jr...to understand what I mean't.."As Good As It Gets". :D
