Gary,

I love the geometric symmetry and mood of this image. Well seen.

I posted an amended version to offer some suggestions. I used a plugin called PTLens where one can enter the camera model and lens and the program then automatically corrects for barrel distortion. The program also allows for rotation, horizontal and vertical distortion adjustments. I rotated the image slightly and then corrected for vertical distortions to try to improve upon the vertical lines in the image. I then brought up the mid-tones using the curves tool to add a bit more impact.

Gary,

Very strong and graphic composition and I like what Richard did with it.

[Kobus Tollig]

This is super. Very creative. Like the light and depth. Well done

Hey Gary,
Very well seen and super comp with all the lines and shapes leading us to the sun. I like Richards lighter version but may prefer your darker version......with just a bit of lightening of the first 2 vertical pier lines......to just emphasize and continue the pattern. Very nicely done!

Between the 2 images I like the subtlty of Gary's and a bit more detail which Richard brought out. Somewhere between the two. The image is different and well composed.

Very dramatic. I like the original with the straightening of the repost.

A very different composition and simply lovable. I too liked the reposted version here. Congratulations for comming up with something totally different.
