Which happens to be one of my favourite lenses...
But I'd like to know your opinion about these two photos: which one do you like best?
EDIT: Re the comments on the unballanced composition I have (several) other ones with the building (it's the Pier in Scheveningen indeed  ) more in the center. Like this one:

about same for me, pics are unbalanced to the right, horizon in the middle not the best, reflections doesn't help in the reading so I prefer #1

They are both excellent but the second one edges it for me. The central horizon doesn't bother me at all. Breaking 'the rules' in this case works for me.

Same as Womble ... the reflection gives a "plus" to the picture.
And the Pentax 28mm is also one of my fav ! |

The reflection in #2 adds interest, though I agree re. the unbalanced composition, maybe crop the left side some?
The A 28 is one of my favorites as well, for whatever reason it doesn't get the respect some other lenses do, but I find it always very resolute and dependable.

In my eyes nothing is wrong with an "unbalanced" composition if it works as well as in your shots.
The first two show a fantastic exposure and are really "WOW"-shots!
In the third one I don't like that the building on the right is cropped.

Google 'pier Scheveningen' and review pics, it is not a easy subject to crop

That's why I prefer the way it is cropped in the first two shots.

Well, it's an evening shot, right? It can be, no it must be a bit darker to convey the right mood.
There is no important area in the shot that is completely black at least on my monitor.

#1 more restful and to the point (the restaurant is the subject)
#2 a more funky style, great reflection
I decide for #1

No. 2 is the best in my opinion. Having the horizon closer to the center is a non-issue since the visual point of interest is the building and you have that closer to the 1/3 line. Having the center of the building a bit off center is better composition, the reflection really makes that image. Nice! |

No1. is better colour and contrastwise. The horizon is to high though.
If you crop the underside halfway through the black wave, the pier pops out of the picture. The reflection in No2 distracts from the object.
