Apologies folks, yesterdays shot wasn't my last ... I felt I couldn't make my last shot one from earlier in the year, so this is from Sunday afternoons swift trip to New Brighton to try out my new Lee filters Smile We drove through some great light on the way there and as soon as I put my tripod down ready to set up ... the sun disappeared and never re-emerged Sad

Anyway, on a brighter note, we got to meet another EPZ'er here - Pavol [d3looo] - great to meet you at last. Not necessarily my best shot of the year, but the last one I'll take before the festivities, so it gets an airing. Converted to mono in PS using Channel Mixer and toned using a Gradient Map. I will put the colour original in the variants.

Once again, have a great time and all the very best for Christmas & 2009 too Smile

Certainly a lot more "arty" in mono, like you could put it in a gallery and not be surprised if people bought it. Whereas the colour version, whilst being an accomplished shot, does'nt have the same degree of visual impact.

The mono gives this more WOW than the colour version imo sutty.

All the best both of you

Mono version definitely the best for me.

One of these days I really must get there when the tide is out to try some different viewpoints!! Smile

Two stunning versions, love the drama in V1, but the colour version is beautiful.
