These are the remains of the West Pier in Brighton, UK, after it was burned down recently. It is haunting to think this was once a concert hall in the 1900s attended by all!

Just down the road from me. I think you could have got closer and the overcast sky makes the photo look very bland. Check out my portfolio for some i`ve shot. Good luck.

I share your nostalgia with this. I would have thought that an off-centre arrangement may have suited this better, showing more of the pier's length. The image is very soft too and may have benefited from some treatment with USM and levels.

Good capture.

Certainly conjures up better times now lost, probably forever if the enabling the development does not get the go ahead to restore this pier.

I liked this shot. The yellow bouy takes away from the b & w look.
