The old remains of Rob's Jetty , Coogee

Last time i went down to this location i was there to photograph the old wreck. See below....

I noticed to the left of the wreck some old pylons under the water heading out to sea. I since found out it was the famous Rob's jetty. Saturday i checked tide times and went there at its lowest hoping that they will be visible and it sure was! Snapped this 2.30min exposure...

I also got a lower perspective so CC is welcome on which you prefer. I prefer the above

Prefer the last, but would like it even more with a more natural look to the sea.

Prefer the last as well .... leads closer to the horizon .... the heavy vignette and the bird are a bit of a problem (for me) .... I love the colour

Probably the last one for me too. Agree with Barb about the vignette and bird, (it looks like the same one in both, and very obliging to hover motionless for so long too )

Lol sorry its not a bird ahaha Its a statue placed around 50 meters out of CY Oconner. he rode his horse into the ocean and shot himself...

I might edit it out and somehow fix the vignette caused from the big stopper

Anyone know the best way to remove or reduce the vignette?

I prefer #2 also. As for the statue my initial thought was leave it in as locals would know it's there but as you sell your images it might be best to clone it out. I know you can do some vignette removal in lens corrections in photoshop but definitely not an expert. If Alan doesn't see your question I'd pm him as I'm sure he'd know a good way to reduce or eliminate it.
