Hi John!
The quality of this shot is excellent, with beautiful colours and perfect sharpness. The lights and contrasts are very nice. It is just a little bit tight to the left. Anyway, a very nice shot.
Regards,
Zeca

Three photos about the same place, all different but yet all three very beautiful. The main posting is really superb in sharpness, colour and POV. Excellent work.

Hi John,
I love the fact that you give a detailed workflow of your shot. I actually studied it quite closely to understand how your shots are so sharp! It is quite an incredible shot.
Well done,

Hi John, Great sharpness, light & nicely composed, your POV with the walkway leading to the Kiosk (a word I have never heard before) was well chosen, I love the position of the lamp &, as Zeca says, this is a quality photo, kind regards Wilson.

Hi John,
This has quite special architectural style, mixing triangular and round forms. Certainly worth rebuilding. Head-on PoV works well this time. Light is strong but you got it tamed.

Hi John,
Amazing sharpness and detail, you have captured and presented this well known landmark well. I fished on that pier many times as a youngster. The biggest fish are always the ones that get away.
Very nice shot.
Cheers

Hi John,

I did not see the pier or the kiosk whe I visited Melbourne in May 1981. Your point of view is leading the eyes towards the kiosk wich is framed by the fence. I like the style of architecture of the kiosk where the details and colors are clear and precise. The light brings out the colors. have a nice day.

Hello John. I can see that to take great pride in your work. I like this image because it is very clean. The sharpness is flawless and the architecture is in perfect vertical line with the frame. The lamp post is interesting against the white handrails and the whole image is very pleasant to look at. Well done again and keep on sharing, John. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Hi John. If only I understood the machinations that went into producing this perfect rendition of the kiosk. My compliments on your skills and artistic sense. Wonderfully distinct details, impeccable use of light and creative PoV. Most enjoyable scene. Regards. Klaudio.

Hello John,

Good crisp imagery here representing this locally famous pier. I particularly think the cream paint combines pleasantly with the clear blue sky. It is good to see a few odd people walking around and enjoying the coastal surrounds, but it is equally good that none obstruct the main feature here. It is pleasing to see that the local council has decided to keep this homely building in good condition instead of allowing it to fall into disrepair which happens often to such things unfortunately. The red door and splashes of colour on the posts to the side liven up the colour variety a bit. It is subtle but the impact is great. Well done.

John,
an amazing clarity and sharpness. I wonder about the composition if you would have taken 1 or 2 steps to the right to free the lamp from the roof and using the right border of the pier as a line leading straight to the building. Those ar just my 2 penny toughts on an extraordinarily well done shot.

Hi John,
amazing sharpness and brightness in this shot where the colours and the excellent quality make the difference and the shot beautiful! There's nothing to criticize here, just enjoy the beautiful result you delivered. Once again thanks for sharing with us the useful workflow note along the great note..a perfect TE package.
Thanks,

Hi John.
Delightful shot, one that I've been thinking I must take for ages! Lovely crispness and colour. The kiosk is nicely placed off centre, and the lamps add to the perspective and depth. I must admit I'm not quite sure why you would use ISO400 and such a high shutter speed/small aperture combination for this one, and I'm also not sure about the wisdom of what seems to be strong noise reduction in the sky. The building is very sharp except for the edge of the wrought iron thingy on the roof and the weather vane pole, if one looks closely. I don't know much about layers I must confess, something I ought to address, so I can't follow all that well your detailed workflow, although I wish I could. You certainly have got tremendous sharpness on the structures in this one, and there's no doubt about your good eye for a composition.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi John,
That's an excellent composition. The colours are great to! But isn't it tilted a little to the left?
Best regards

Hello John,
What a beautifully restored Vicorian/Edwardian era kiosk. I feel that I am in a time machine when I look at this elegant building. They should also add aother small ice cream parlor if there is room for one. Beautiful photograph with fantastic sharpness and composition!

Hello John,
A lovely building and an interesting location!
The architecture is captured with sharp fine details where the red door is a strong eye-catcher...
Fine light, good lead-in and attractive colours!

Hello John

Lighting plays a vital role in assessing a wonderful shot.

The geometry that forms in the composition is welcome, from your POV. Good brightness, contrast, balance, color and framing.
