This is really good, Alun - a spartan feel to be sure - yet the textures of the boardwalk - the clouds - the two wedges of sea - all keep bringing my eye back to the center of the pier. Nicely done.

great image -- i dig the expanse foreground (i love these types of shots), the wood textures, lines, and of course the nails.

What elaborate railings it has on either side, ours don't have anything like that, they're much simpler, I like your one better!
