Actually, I lightened the original one I posted, from which Shel cropped off the beach. When I re-did the pic, I left the colours and brightness pretty much alone, so it is darker than the Shel version.

I agree about the oppressive feeling, but a sunny seaside postcard was not what I was after (not much chance in Brighton anyway).

Thanks again for your comments and suggestions.

It's amazing, but now that I look at the two again, yours is "lighter" looking (note: I'm not saying "brighter"). Somehow, not seeing the end of the pier makes the photo look very oppressive to me. Seeing it opens it up a great deal to my eyes.

So, I can see why Jon Paul would have the impression that you brightened it...

cheers,
frank
