Pier in Lido di Jesolo at night.
The original was so noisy so came the idea to build on this feeling. Had a lot of work with this one:
- curves
- desat
- flatten
- convert to grayscale
- convert to duotone
- levels
- add noise
- gaussian blur
- USM
- add noise

I'm going through my votes in reverse order and commenting on as many as I can .... this shot to me has a lot of potential and I actually think the grain......buh...'scuse me.....NOISE.....adds to the shot. That being said, it's lacking something to live up to the title.
Why am I going on? To me, artistically speaking, don't see going on here. Why would I leave the light to drop off the end into the dark?
I will say that you have me thinking....and, maybe that is the most important thing.....
I gave the photo a 3.
I like the enigma of this picture. railroad tracks into the ocean? a boardwalk upside-down? and I swear I see a ghostly pair of sneakers crossing the tracks.
This is very dark, which prevents me from appreciating what the image is. Lighten it up a bit, and work a little with curves and any highlights that were blown out by increasing brightness would be taken care of.
Not very pleasing to the eye, I can sort of make out something on the wood, but not enough to form an opinion about it. The image is very blurry and noisy.
This seems to be really dark and grainy. Also, I'm not a big fan of the centered composition. Perhaps if it were taken from a slight angle to have the bridge (?) leading in from one of the corners.
