I would love to be there. Beautiful image, like the lamp, means we will stay until it's dark.

This is amazing Mal....I will be there if you invite me.

Pesky hoodies...always out causiing trouble!! lol

This is a lovely shot, the graphic style really appeals to me as does the symbolism, for all that there are two peolpe in the shot it has a real feeling of solitude, for me anyway.

I think, awesome is the word I'm looking for.

This is utterly fabulous, s still from a film, the tear jerking moment that everyone remembers?

Simply brilliant photography

This is most extrordinarily beautiful and for me very emotional.

High up with dozens of other top draw images that you have produced Mal. richard

simply stunning Mal, a masterpiece for sure fella

…very late in the night
i will come to the pier
i will tell you the stories
i will read you the poems
i will look at your smile
in the light of the lantern…
all I ask you to be there

The sky appears molten. Lovely.

I always enjoy the titles that you give your photos. It really adds something, guides one's thoughts.

Great lightning and calmness in the photo. Almost graphical, but still "inhabitated" by humans.

Thank you, Mal, for this fascinating photo- I have no words, self in my mother tongue, to descibe this very special, so wonderful light- early in the morning or.. I don't know- I remember to have experienced once- very early- such an atmosphere while having felt to be the first person on the world who may be so happy and presented to see the first light arising after a dark-cold night- in such moments you are getting absolutely silent and humble and you are only blissful and astonished at so much beauty! Fine also the contrast of the so little (man-made-light) lantern and the ocean of natural light which is touching all 'things' and will give warmth...- Yes, I wanted to have been there despite cold and a rough wind...!

Simply stunning shot, the lighting makes this shot , thanks for this

With the lantern to guide me, I will surely be there.

Will you recognise me when I come?

```Love it Mick.

Yep! Another goodun.

Slightly surreal feel to it don't you think?

Hi Mal,
Another great image. I always look at the end of the day when everyone else has already made comments. there's nothing much I can add that hasn't been written already.
Do you send any of your pictures to agencies or magazines?
top marks again.

Definitely off a film scene, I like the crispness too.

beautiful, this is different from some of your other work.. you've caught the 'moment'

He walks with a lantern while the sun is still about? My, what a find.

Great stuff and interprative to boot.

a great, neh, beautiful shot.

Mal, you must be a romanticist- s I saw today the Caspar David Friedrich exhibition in the Hermitage Amsterdam I thought of you- the thematic: natural grandeur,the same grand vision of the nature, sunlighted skies and seas, figures seen from behind, inspiring reflection...! It is not the first time that I think of that- a kind of my praise!

Fantastic compostion, Just a really nice piece in every aspect..

Beautiful Mal.

One Q - why is the hooded one carrying a lamp? I'm sure that there is somethign deep and meaningful that I mave missed. Love it though, and the way the boardwalk isn;t 100% straight, looking at the nails in the centre.

(so much for new technology, this shot only appeared on my rss feed this morning. That's rubbish (exhasperated rolling eyes smiley) )

Any chance I could get a high res copy of this to be my new desktop image?

Hey Mal, I see you've still got them rolling out! Brilliant image, I love that it's in b/w.
