Description

Straight off the camera.

I'm going to pull a Elite, GFXartist sponsor Gwarfi here...so basically vote, leave critiques, and maybe even PM me some critiques, and I won't get back to you or even show up on GFX again until the 1st of the month. And even when I do show up again, I still won't make the slightest effort to get back to you.

:p

I like the color version the best as the layers of color in the sky as well as the string of lights along the railing contribute to the flow the of image. The fencing on the pier adds an interesting element by suggesting a state of disrepair or unsafe conditions much in the way that your abandoned building shots do.

Interesting... it's not super-complex, but it gives me a very strong feeling of mood and temperature (really, I know that sounds wierd but it's true :p). I like both the full color version and the split-toned. They each have very different characters. I'm enjoying how very thick and tangible the bridge's shadow feels to me.
Though I like the colors of your first Infinite Pier, I prefer the composition of this one. At first, the closeness of the pier's vanishing point to the edge of the picture felt odd, but the more I looked at the piece, the more it grew on me, especially that very detail and the bold triangle of the bridge.

blackshad: It's no mystery that Gwarfi used his popularity on deviantART to obtain the "elite" status on GFX almost instantly (by linking the site on his dA journal and bringing dA members over to vote for him) and then promptly abandoned the site immediately after (until the first of the month at any rate). You can call it what you will, but honestly I don't see any reason to stick up for someone who doesn't put a single ounce of participation into this site.

MrMagoo: Odd, I've PMed him multiple times about various things (even including a link to a photo of his I'd adjusted to get his opinion on) and never once has he returned my PMs.

...hehe, whatever you say ;)
I think this is a good shot!

edit *like the colorversion better in this case. The blue against the warm horizon adds to the composition...*

Beautiful work, Brandon. +10!

And you know I agree with the sentiment you've expressed here.

Brandon my dear, people generally dont like others editing their pics:) no matter if its for a good cause...the thing regarding the bringing da members to vote for him...i hightly doubt it.meaning that i dunno how many people would reduce comfort to just create an account and vote ( i for one would be too lazy to do so)..i say he deserves his elite status
as for the image itself, i'd like just a bit more space on the left.colours, exposure are ok:)

Cig: Eh, I don't mind if people edit my pics. Slapo and a couple others have on various occasions and it's never bothered me. I won't always agree with the adjustments, but refusing to see what other people have to offer is narrow-minded.

I personally view linking your GFX account from a dA blog as soliciting votes. He also mentioned in that particular blog that he'd be spending more time on GFX and less time on dA (which was completely fallacious).

Cool and clean shot. Like the lights.

ps.: As GFX ARTIST defines elite members ( simply by summing up votes which accrued in a period of time without measuring refunds to the community / activity ) he for sure deserves his status. As a member of GFX I'd like to see that votes arn't enough to become an elite nominee. At the moment we should scrutinize if the nominee really deserves the potential status in a community sense.

Cheers.

byonder : i dont care about gwarfi and dont disagree with the fact that he is lame and he abused the system
but anyway, you should be kind with the rest of the community and keep your bad attitude for the bad peoples :p

Very nice.
I'd like a little more space on the left to allow the pier to disappear into the distance. As it is, it sort of gets cut off by the left edge.

Rather monotonous for my taste.
