So, without knowing I used the right word , thanks Mike

Speaking of being "ordinary:" This type of scene with a wooden walkway extending over water has been photographed so often that it has become a bit of a cliché. The third treatment is creative enough and certainly valid enough that it is the most appealing to me because it is such an interesting interpretation of the otherwise ordinary scene.

Hi Binnur,

I didn't read all the comments but just to add a vote for the 3rd image... Beautiful soft pink colours, dreamy magical sky and a dreamy scene.

Thank you Christina. I'm glad you liked it

and justst to show that taste is personal, I see that Sharon has just posted before me and given a different view. But she has a much more creative and artistic mind than I have.

I was bang on certain i'd go with #2...you all know i like dark...and contrast...but in this context...with the 'eternity' theme..when i saw #3 it actually 'moved me' emotionally. i wasn't xpecting it so my reaction was true.

Perhaps it's because it is somewhat more ethereal...perhaps am just in a good mood! ( ) but I could imagine stepping off that pier and into that enduring 'beyond'...light as a feather.

Binnur....it is a great image...if i were to 'tweak anything i might darken the area at very end of the pier....slightly.

Mostly....thank you for making us think and have this conversation. x

OK, I'm the guy that looks at a picture and says to himself "Is this a true representation of what it actually looked like when the picture was taken?" (In other words I have no 'artistic' in me.)
As I scrolled down the different pictures, before reading any of the comments, I immediately thought put the sky from #1 with the pier from #2 and you have a winner.

Am I the only one who sees the sky as being different 1 vs 2?

If so, my apologies, but I like #2 as I would bet it is closest to 'reality'.

Is it what you wanted to convey with the photo, um, probably not, but that has more to do with my lack of 'artistic' than yours.

Thanks for sharing the picture.

when i saw #3 it actually 'moved me' emotionally.

The same for me. It's the only one that has that effect on me. The second one works for me but only the third one moves me.

Thanks again Sharon. Looking forward to seeing more of your images in CinC

Hi Alan. We all agree about #2 being a traditional edit. You are right that skies are different in #1 and #2. I will try your suggestion to see how it works. Thanks for looking and commenting. I really appreciate it
