Brighton West Pier III Photo

Photographer’s Note

One last view of this, which I think needs at least one in B&W.

Hi Richard.
I looked at the other shots of this pier and think this one is the best, the b/w treatment emphasising the melancholy aspect of a ruined pier. The pose of the woman suggests a degree of apathy, the 'daily life' aspect perhaps! Anyway, an unusual and almost disturbing shot.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Richard,
This shows feeling of gone glory well with the pier almost disappeared. B&W fits well and the woman is well placed, head down emphasizing feeling of melancholy.
Reminds of opera stage in Bregenz.

Hi Richard. This has such a menacing and dramatic look. I thought Hiroshima or some place like that. It is sad to see the blackened ruins of what was once a place of fun. You have managed a dramatic and imposing image of it thought. regards kevin
