GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

What an interesting visual treat you have provided here.

You have selected and emphasized very strong lights and darks in this image and I think that treatment is quite effective. I do wonder (from a DPCer standpoint) if the HDR teeters on edge of 'too much.' Hard to say.

Your strong leading line to the end of the pier is balanced nicely by the strong black horizontal area (breakwater?) along the top.

If I was to Pick a Nit, I would suggest removing that power pole to the extreme edge of the left side. Other than that, I think this is a well-executed record of a piece of history.

I hope this little critique is helpful to you.

Alice

yes it is
Francis Parer was the first operator of the kiosk way back in 1905

1905 - Parer operates the Kiosk living on site and is know as Parer's Pavillion although its offical name is Austral Refreshment Rooms.

IMO this needs a little heavier hand with the USM...just to add more definition to the building and rocks in the background
