I'm breaking with habit and uploading two images in one day. Well I said I'd fallen in love with this pier didn't I? Thank you again for the Artist Spotlight nomination this month and for all the wonderful messages you have left me there.

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

Nigel - Both photos of the pier are terrific. They both give this old pier its due - a wonderful throwback to a past era. The photos make me wonder what it must have been like when it first opened in the late 1860's. Kudos on these photos and your deserved selection for Artist Spotlight. Thad

I do like the night scene. Is it a restaurant at the end of the pier?

Your style has a special touch in each photo and such a simpleness with elegance which make your work every time unique.

Great shot. Good twinkles! Very good control of the saturation and brightness, which is always tricky with evening shots. Retained dark details and did not blow out the image with the pier lights. Great framing, capturing the line of the pier from left to right, mirrored by the 'smooth' sea below.

I can see why you love this pier so much Nigel. It is an absolute gem. Its structure seems so delicate. Both your pictures do absolute justice to this wonderful structure.

As for the nomination, you more than many deserve it.

Another cracker of a pic! Amazing colours again, and love the reflections. I really like that you got the lights to get the star effect, adds a lot to the pic. Lovely work again my friend :)

My goodness! Look at all the people..with their comments. You are one popular guy eh?!! I love this photo and the special lights. Not only did you get the foreground lights perfectly,but all the ones in the distance. Do you use a star filter? It's a magnificent photo Nigel. Welcome back! Verena
