Stark

Stark

Even though it's gradually being demolished by the sea, there seems to be a strength and defiance about the skeleton of Brighton's West Pier. I love the way it's starkness makes the barbed wire look almost delicate. It's sad to think that in a few years it will probably have disappeared beneath the waves.

Hi Anna, I've just seen this and have to say it's extremely well composed and thought through.  The exposure and detail are first class, I love it's uniformity and subtle colours.  Well done and great to see you posting more quality work.

Stunning shot Anna. I have seen many shots of the West Pier but yours one is definitelly one of the best that I have seen. The composition is dramatic and works well with the sky and the mood of the day. Well done. Zuzana

A wonderful, surreal and dramatic image Anna.  The 10-20 zoom really does it justice too.  A very unique record of something quickly vanishing.  Great work, Steve.

Super clarity, Anna, and a cracking composition. What a shame that it's been left in this sad, distressed state. Cheers, Col.

Very sad indeed Anna. This Iconic landmark is the first thing that comes into my mind when I think of Brighton. There have been so many stories of attempts of restoring this beautiful structure but the one that I recall the most is the story about it being restored using lottery funds only to lose out to the Royal Ballet in Covent Garden (rumoured), which was very deserved as it was so obviously at any moment due to crumble and collapse in a heap unless it received several million for a refurbishment (mainly nice new red carpets and a few seats to be priced under £100 for the poverty stricken lol. In all seriousness as a local it is quite upsetting seeing it in this state of repair when IMHO lottery funds are spent on undeserving projects.
Oh, wonderful photo by the way Anna, very creative as normal. All the best - Lee

At least it will live on in photography..........well captured Anna. When I visited there 19 years ago it was in a bad state, so I imagine it is worse for wear now.

A brilliant shot it is, with a great comp, superb perspective and a outstanding silhouette of barbed wires against the sky. Great work Anna. Best wishes - Jan.

Brilliant shot Anna, really well composed and captured. It's a disgrace how these iconic structures are being lost, sadly, the people with the power to preserve our cultural history have no appreciation of it, shameful! - Paul

Excellent shot Anna, a gateway to the past which is now closed and enshrined with barbed wire! You really have captured the bleakness, excellent comp and processing. Well done. Rgds Sharon
