Southport Pier
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 17 November 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
A winter sunset from Southport beach in NW England.
The tyre tracks in the sand are from the specially adapted tractors that go out to the edge of the sea looking for shellfish.

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Another great image. I like very much the tones of color, the depth and the clean result of this wide panorama. Really beautiful.

Ted from South Wales, United Kingdom
Brilliant...and I actually prefer this to the previous as, for whatever reason, the vibrating flag/out of focus, didn't work for me. This has everything though, distant interest, sunset, leading lines and foreground interest. Brilliant.

@Ted: Thanks Ted...yes, the two photos are very different aren't they. My personal preference is for the previous one but I'm well aware that it isn't perfect.
Sometimes it's good to have a little ambiguity. Photos that are very prescriptive like this one leave little to the viewer's imagination.
@thib: Thanks thib!
