Lovely light and energy - I like that you have also caught someone on the pier whistfully gazing out over the interminable stretch of the sea

Great light and a good composition. Like the light change from right to left, works really well.

Thanks for the comments. Only been doing this for a couple of months (previous interest was astronomical imaging only). You gen kind of obsessed don't you. I am already wishing I had splashed out on the K5 rather than the K-r, however I will get some better glass before upgrading. Fantastic hobby and I am loving the way the K-r performs.

This is a lovely photo. The exposure is good, with the movement of the sea, adding to the feel of the picture. The lighting and tones that you have acheived is excellent.
If it were me, I would try cropping some off the right hand side of the picture. This would move the end of the pier away from the centre and possibly improve the composition. What do you think?
As it is, it is still an excellent photo. Well done.
Friendly Regards
Graham

Graham,
I take you point with respect to the composition, and I will give it a go when I am at home this evening. Thank you for the suggestion.
Best regards,
Dave

Nice shot Dave It has movement, nice tone, good composition, vibrant colours. I notice your comment on the glass you've used. Please dont be so fast to replace because the 18-55 DAL is a very good kit lens indeed. I did a quick and dirty test with the lens against my Fuji X100 (the 23mm fujinon lens is very highly regarded) and I can honestly say there was no difference at all even blown up to A2. That said, buying and trying new lenses is all part of the fun and the photographic journey.
Great shot. congratulations.

Pete,
Thanks for the comment on the glass. I agree that the kit lenses are good. However, I am hungry for field of view. I am looking at something like a Sigma 10-24mm (or perhaps a Tamron). I am very keen of ultra wide field and exaggerated perspective. Any additional glass will augment and not replace the kit lenses that I have.
Regards,
Dave

Great shot, I love the angle you have used here Dave and as stated by many of the comments above, the light and colours are fantastic. I would also echo the comment about the 18-55 lens; don't be too hasty to replace it. I have seen so many great shots on the Gallery taken with this lens.
