Clevedon Pier, a photo from Somerset, England

Photographer's Note

Clevedon Pier in Somerset oozes nostalgia and almost begs to be photographed in black and white :)

_________

Clevedon Pier in Somerset represents one of the finest surviving Victorian piers in the country, not only retaining its simple uncluttered decks, but displaying a degree of elegance not found in any other pier in Britain.

Hello Leilani,
Really nice photo with great composition and fantastic construction. This pier looks really elegant. The B&W creates nice atmosphere, TFS

Really can't understand why you only have 2 points Leiani. Nice diagonal of the pier. great focus, foreground interest, nice b&w. Surely more people out there will like this!
Best regards
Mark

Lovely shot Leilani - it looks like a period postcard - I'm sure I have seen an old photograph of it from this angle - I seem to remember my mother stayed in Clevedon in some kind of nursing home for a while when I was a small child (following an illness) so it has an extra nostalgic element to it.

best wishes Kev

Hi Leilani
This looks great, I like the low pov along the pier.
B+W looks good.

This is a great shot Leilani - the pier is amazing - looks like it would fall over in a big sea.

I'd like to see the same shot with maybe a moodier sky, thunderstorm or similar.

Indeed, a fantastic black and white - no need to beg, you've done it for us, and all we have to do is stand back and admire this superlative, undeniably "correct" view.

Hello Leilani,
J’ai parcouru un peu ta galerie et je trouve que tu as un très chouette regard photographique,

Cette jetée est absolument magnifique,
Excellent cadrage !

Hello Leilani

This is a beautiful image and ideal as B+W subject matter. Nicely composed and with a good tonal range.
I am a little confused by the addition/inclusion of the heavy horizontals at top and bottom. This image looks tailor made for the classic thin black outline with a white border
