 Moody days are always fun to try to interpret.
Did I do it here?

Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge

What a lovely old structure that pier is though I'm not sure I would feel too safe in the building! I am intrigued why you seem to have so much noise with such a low setting? I like the combination of near mono together with the muted colours of the building. I think the composition could have been improved by reducing the foreground in favour of the sky which has some interesting detail and texture in it and it would also remove the foreground detail I find rather distracting. The mast is so close to the left edge it should either have more room or have been cropped out. At the other edge the distant beacon is a little too close to the right edge, I think the whole composition would have benefited from a small move to the right.

A respectable result in such a demanding challenge, well done, thank you for your entry.

very interesting building. Unfortunately the wow-factor is missing... maybe a bolder crop would have helped a little since the foreground with the little wave is somewhat distracting. 2/3 of the pier would have been sufficient too to give the right impression of the surrounding. A more dramatic sky would have helped too but none of us is able to change weather conditions, right?

I like the over all subject matter in the composition, I think there is a bit too much noise within the clouds in my opinion.

I really like the colors on the building.
