Ah, but were you on your bike and did you keep to 10mph max!
*Robert*
I agree Robert..I can't understand why they are so expensive.
*limom*
Thanks....
*these temporal rooms*
Glad to have made contact again Robert.
nostalgia...
hugs :o)
nice geometry Trevor. best regards, robert
Haven't seen beach huts of this sort on my side of the pond.
Anyway, the price is exorbitant; the picture - intriguing.

I was on my bike Colin, but as for keeping to 10mph....well that would be telling.
*Dorota Narwojsz-Szal*
Your right about nostalgia...beah huts always remind me of my childhood.
*Robert Manz*
Thanks for that Robert.
*Duta*
The price certainly is exorbitant...whats more people actually pay that for them.
These are always photogenic. Just as well at that price.
*Adrian*
Photogenic or not....there is no way I would pay that much for what after all is a glorified garden shed.
Ah, it is kind of expensive :)
However, I enjoyed the photo very much!
*Olga*
Glad you liked the image Olga.
You know, looking at that image again, IMO, there are a couple of things that are holding it back from greatness.

Please share......
It's the light post.
First, I wish it wasn't there.
Second, I with it were straight.
That hill in the background left completes the illusion that the hill top fades into the left border, but that darn light post sort of stops the eyeball from following it.
All those lines going into the vanishing point, cabanas, bike path, hill top, and that post well, I wish it wasn't there.
If you straighten it, maybe the eye passes it, but I think now, because it's a bit off, the eye catches it and the composition sort of ends there.
Remember, the eye seeks out the unusual and I can't help but look at the leaning tower of lamp.
Just my opinion, which isn't really of much value.
It's a great image and one of my favorites.
Too bad it's not on a traditional format like silver gelatin.
I bet those tones would just pop!
How large is the file?
I mean what's the actual image size?
*limom*
Thanks for the constructive comments...and yes your opinion is of value as all feedback is useful and welcome.
You are absolutely right...and that lamp post almost stopped me posting the image.... when I captured the shot I took my vertical from the edge of the first beach hut. In retrospect I feel that was an error and as you point out- the lamp post attracts the eye away from the vanishing point...keeping that straight would have worked better though.
I would not remove it in photo shop as I like to complete my composition in camera as much as possible and keep post production to a minimum.
In most cases- what you see is what I took in camera- warts and all.
File/image size 5.07MB (4000x3000)
It just goes to show what different opinions we all have. The lamp is in no way a distraction for me, in fact it holds the edge of the composition in and adds some balance. I guess that at the time, you weren't about undertaking a technical exercise to make an image that avoided converging verticals or other such things, but rather reacting to something that caught your minds eye. Sometimes, if you spend too much time in the field, then more still messing about on the computer you can completely loose that sense of emotional impulse that comes through in this image. I really liked it.
*Colin Griffiths*
I think that you have it in a nutshell there Colin and all the different opinions are one of the things that make photography so interesting.
I have always valued emotion and atmosphere in my images more highly than technical perfection and that was why I decided to post the photograph in spite of the lamp not being perfectly vertical.
I am glad that the lamp wasn't a distraction for you and that you liked the image....for me though I do wish that the lamp was closer to the vertical.
