I love #3! I uses to live at Dee Why, went surfing at the point (to the right of where the photo was taken) pretty regularly ... so many memories.

Sure do mate :)
No maintenance either, just wait for a big swell and high tide!

I like both #2 and #3. #1 in B & W is just a bit drab.

I'd also have liked a portrait shot of #2 making the most of the leading lines of the railing.

I love #2, the railing just jumps out.

What do you do to protect the camera/lens on days like that (having nearly killed a D70 last xmas in Bass Strait)?

Great shots Geoff. No 3 is my pic as it looks a lot more dramatic and cold!
