The Black and White gives the picture an "Anytime" feeling. I know this is now but it could be the 1950s. This gives it a timeless quality, whereas the colour version roots the picture in the present.

Both are great pictures of a structure that is becoming something of a rarity.

Both nice pics, but I really love the B&W. So crisp looking and I agree it has a timeless quality to it!

Love the B&W verison, I agree we could be stepping back in time with this shot. Well done.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

I got the pier in the distance but didn't realise you'd gone in this close. I love piers in any case, they're so unmistakably about the British seaside. The slight glow you've given this is lovely and as Randy has said, a keen eye makes for a grand composition!

Reminds me of some shots I saw on the walls of different establishments in Daytona Beach, Florida. Most of them were on the beach where the Daytona 500 was first held. They were also in B/W. Good post Jan.

Really doesn't need the color to support it. It stands well enough on its own. Great b&w.

I like the waves in this a lot. That is a neat pier and apparently very popular too.

There's just something about b&w that's so classic...

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. Ernest Haas
