I liked the first image more immediately because I understood the message right away. The second image took longer to sink in, but once it did it became my favorite.
First shot for me Mads. Your eye travels around the bridge and stops at the person, almost like a full stop, then moves back along the bridge again to explore it in greater detail
I like the second image because, as you said, it does look more haunting. Also, based on what I can see on the small screen of my computer, I looks like you're walking away from the camera and leaving an ethereal trail behind you.
it's definitely the second photo for me! much more emphasis on the person in the picture. in the first one for me the person is just an additional, extra piece of the picture, but on the second even though its the same view, the environment is "just there" to create the mood of the picture with person in it.
Unreal photo)) You breathe meaning into a seemingly ordinary plot. And yet, you feel and see an optical illusion. The lower right corner in the photo seems to be stretched downward, rechecked the horizontals and they are fine) Thank you, after watching yours videos I want to take a camera and go take pictures)))
Love it Mads ! The last picture is more ghostly and more my thing ..... but maybe the 2 pictures combined "2 ghosts finding each other on the infinite circle"
Hi Mads. Great video. There is actually a small spring of water nearby, when walking back from the bridge to the parking lot. That could be a nice long exposure as well.
For me, I like the first image however I can’t help thinking it would be better without the horizon, whereas I think the second one is brilliant. Personally I feel once the water has been smoothed to that extend, image reality can take a back seat to creativity. Like you say, it’s haunting. 👏
they are both good and even before you indicated you were going with B/W, that is what I thought you should do. After looking at both a little more, I like the second shot.
The both pictures are insane, the shadows, the lines on the floor and the smooth water...but the second picture is more enigmatic / mysterious!! One more time thank you so much for your video(s)!!
“So much in common, and yet different.” I agree the second has special uniqueness. The two make a complementary pair. Here’s an idea: reverse one so that side-by-side you almost have a coming and going...
For me, it is this second photo that I prefer - it has something unreal to it. I think it could be somewhat more continuous, but even this one does the "trick" for me. Interesting idea, now I have to see how I could manage something similar with my old analog (and mechanical) camera - there were mechanical devices that could do timed long-time exposures …
A very good result. I can hardly decide which picture is the better one. But the second one is definitely more "artistic". I also found the bridge some time ago during a "Google Earth Virtual Location Scouting" action. But I did not get to it yet. But who knows, I have a photographer in Denmark, who wants to go with me to take pictures. I am always surprised how many people ask if they would walk through the picture. One hardly expects so much consideration nowadays. But there are just as many who do not ask.
I like the first photo of you at the end of the bridge, the second one is good too but I find the image of you a little busy for my taste. I love that you chose black and white as well, its adds to the mystique of the picture.
I like both photos, and I think the horizon actually adds to the moody context. After looking hard and comparing both i was actually surprised to find that I like the second, "ghostly'' image even better. It just seems to capture an ethereal sense and mood.
I'm surprised you didn't have issues with the pier shaking. In my experience shooting these places, the boardwalk shakes and the image isn't sharp unless it's a shorter exposure. I prefer the composition vastly on the first image vs the second. Nice shots!
To start with... what a great teacher you are! I am so thankful for having you in my life as my teacher. So enjoy the little details that are shared in this video. Really the horizon being visible makes it still very real as if it is still a part of this world before the cross over to the other world. And between the two... Well, they are different parts of the story... one is about moving to that point of the cross over and the other one is considering the point now that he has arrived. They are both wonderful... great job and thanks for sharing ! )))
Second photo definitely wins for me Mads. In the first the person is quite small in the scenery, whereas in the second, the walking into eternity story is there. Water and sky the same colour, yes that would have an interesting effect. I can certainly see more photos coming from here at some time in the future. Thanks for sharing Mads. Always interesting.
Nice shots and concept, the first shot somehow made me think of Anthony Gormley's Another Place where cast iron sculptures of himself stare out to sea. But the end shot is also interesting too.
Mads I'm going to give these images several days or even weeks before picking a favorite. I want to see them over and over again. These are worth it. Phil
Great photos! I was musing as to whether a shot with the camera up a fair bit higher would work. You could take the horizon line out of the shot completely. I love the minimalist bridge too without rails. I don't think we could build one like that here in Australia. All our officials would run around in circles screaming and then all their heads would fall off. :)
MADS-- You are so incredibly talented and visionary of what you want long before you actually take the photo! I loved both photos and printing in Black & White was the proper choice. Randy B.
Personally, I prefer the second image. I too think you should return to this spot when the weather is foggy and rainy, possibly using the 10 stop filter to smooth out the scene even more. Great video, Mads. I always enjoy your content very much.
Interesting video - many thanks. I preferred the first image. For me, it gave it more scale, which added to the mystery. I can see how you might want to eliminate the horizon line, which is quite a dominant (somewhat unwelcome?) feature of the image. Lots of food for thought for me (trying to!!) create similar images.
I appreciate that you had an idea and concept for this long exposure beyond the minimalist idea. I like both final images with the first edging out for favorite. Thanks.
My heart was in my mouth when you walked away from the camera into shot. I imagined the bridge to be bouncy and the camera ending in the drink. Love both images but the second one IMO has the edge. Thanks, love your videos.

My clear favourite is the ‘ghostly’ version of you. Love it.
The first one is beautiful and more minimalist, but the second one is just great.
I liked the first photo. I also didn't mind the horizon line either. I think it added to the composition.
Man, I don’t know if I can say that I like one over the other but there’s something particularly captivating about the second shot.
I liked the first image more immediately because I understood the message right away. The second image took longer to sink in, but once it did it became my favorite.
The second photo is the preffered photo! It's like someone's soul walking the path into the light.
First shot for me Mads. Your eye travels around the bridge and stops at the person, almost like a full stop, then moves back along the bridge again to explore it in greater detail
I like the second image because, as you said, it does look more haunting. Also, based on what I can see on the small screen of my computer, I looks like you're walking away from the camera and leaving an ethereal trail behind you.
I prefer the second photo, perfect with the sounds background and pictures tells soul in motion.
Just Wow! Pic #1 for me... The mystery of the one... is such a cool touch!
I do like the second one more. The figure is more blurry and I think that makes the horizon look even sharper.
It’s the first one for me, love the way the leading line takes you to the subject which is then not pin sharp adding a mystery to the picture.
it's definitely the second photo for me! much more emphasis on the person in the picture. in the first one for me the person is just an additional, extra piece of the picture, but on the second even though its the same view, the environment is "just there" to create the mood of the picture with person in it.
second photo was the best, but both are awesome each conveys a different mood.
I like the minimalistic approach.
2nd Photo was amazing Mads. 'Bridging Eternal Dimensions'
The first photo is deep and great
Unreal photo))
You breathe meaning into a seemingly ordinary plot.
And yet, you feel and see an optical illusion. The lower right corner in the photo seems to be stretched downward, rechecked the horizontals and they are fine)
Thank you, after watching yours videos I want to take a camera and go take pictures)))
The first image for me Mads I like how your personage connects the sky and the sea as it is the only thing which crosses the horizon.
Love it Mads ! The last picture is more ghostly and more my thing ..... but maybe the 2 pictures combined "2 ghosts finding each other on the infinite circle"
I vote for the second shot, it has a soul....brings you inside the photo and make you walk over the bridge. Congrats!!
I can't choose one over the other. They're both incredible and they tell two different stories. Both stories are intriguing.
I like both of them. They each dig into your mind and pull out and emotion. The one you like will depend on your emotion at the time of viewing.
Hi Mads. Great video. There is actually a small spring of water nearby, when walking back from the bridge to the parking lot. That could be a nice long exposure as well.
Definitely the second image. Ghostly is the perfect description. I like it.
For me, I like the first image however I can’t help thinking it would be better without the horizon, whereas I think the second one is brilliant. Personally I feel once the water has been smoothed to that extend, image reality can take a back seat to creativity. Like you say, it’s haunting. 👏
Definitely the second one, because there is something more arty about it
Second image for me! Your pose in the first one feels contrived, and the movement in the second adds mystery.
I can't dicide, as both are touching in their own way and you can choose diffent ways of individual interpretations. Thank you!
I like the second image because it gives a real sense of mystery & creativity
very eerie and after life shots esp the second pne.
I like watching your videos which are very enlightening with good advice and tips. I prefer the the first photo with you on the extreme right.
First image for me as the distance adds to the sense of isolation that the image conveys.
Very nice
Mads, I liked all your photos. If I had to choose one, I would select the first.
Loved the second image!
The first is my preference as your eye looks at the whole picture, I think.
I have a hard time to decide between both. I think I would use them together side by side. Nice work. Love it.
First image for me. The second is too haunting to hang up in a home. Thanks for your great films!
I prefer the first image. Amazing shot and another awesome video. Thanks Mads.
The first photo is neat. Like it.
they are both good and even before you indicated you were going with B/W, that is what I thought you should do. After looking at both a little more, I like the second shot.
The both pictures are insane, the shadows, the lines on the floor and the smooth water...but the second picture is more enigmatic / mysterious!! One more time thank you so much for your video(s)!!
I like the second photo more, but both are great.
Simple but beautiful.
I like both shots but prefer the first one. Very cool.

Interesting idea, now I have to see how I could manage something similar with my old analog (and mechanical) camera - there were mechanical devices that could do timed long-time exposures …
Nice photos. I like the second the most! More mystic and it makes you wonder who/what is that figure, which direction is he walking and so on.
A very good result. I can hardly decide which picture is the better one. But the second one is definitely more "artistic".
I also found the bridge some time ago during a "Google Earth Virtual Location Scouting" action.
But I did not get to it yet. But who knows, I have a photographer in Denmark, who wants to go with me to take pictures.
I am always surprised how many people ask if they would walk through the picture.
One hardly expects so much consideration nowadays. But there are just as many who do not ask.
It's a big part of the Danish mentality not to be obnoxious in public. It's very common not to walk in front of people's cameras :)
I like the first photo of you at the end of the bridge, the second one is good too but I find the image of you a little busy for my taste. I love that you chose black and white as well, its adds to the mystique of the picture.
Definitely the 1st one! I've seen my share of spooky movies I suppose 🙂
I really like the first main shot. Awesome 👌
Number two for me. I liked the surreal look of it.
The second image has more mystery in my opinion. It looks like a very interesting location that has lots of potential Thanks for a great video.
Prefer the first one and I like the subtle horizon giving a sense of distance.
I like both photos, and I think the horizon actually adds to the moody context. After looking hard and comparing both i was actually surprised to find that I like the second, "ghostly'' image even better. It just seems to capture an ethereal sense and mood.
Both are really great, but the second photo is my hands-down favourite. Like you said, it's haunting.
Yes haunting. When I saw it I was thinking of photos of 'ghosts'
I like either one, hard for me to judge. This is well done, well made photograph and video.
Great outcomes. photo 1, but both are good. black and white good choice.
Both photos are really great. It's hard to.say which is best.
I love your first photo 👌📷
Both pictures are great. The second one is the better of the two.
I'm surprised you didn't have issues with the pier shaking. In my experience shooting these places, the boardwalk shakes and the image isn't sharp unless it's a shorter exposure. I prefer the composition vastly on the first image vs the second. Nice shots!
The second one looks less staged und I like to imagine the figure (you) being a ghost. Love it, thanks for sharing!
Both are good for different reasons. great video. thanks
I like the second photo. Great work.😊
Like your video format and the way you present the subject.
Definitely the first shot for me.
To start with... what a great teacher you are! I am so thankful for having you in my life as my teacher. So enjoy the little details that are shared in this video.

They both have their own merits Mads and give a very different feel. Thanks for sharing

Water and sky the same colour, yes that would have an interesting effect.
I can certainly see more photos coming from here at some time in the future.
Thanks for sharing Mads. Always interesting.
Wow! Wonderful photos!
I’d happily put either one on my wall, Mads, but yes, I think the second one might be the better of the two!
Great vídeo and pictures. These are the kind of photos I'm working on.
Nice shots and concept, the first shot somehow made me think of Anthony Gormley's Another Place where cast iron sculptures of himself stare out to sea. But the end shot is also interesting too.
Nice click , love this photo
The auto generated english subtitles at 5:34 is just pure gold.
Very nice photo I love this sort of photography
Definitely the second one for me.
Mads I'm going to give these images several days or even weeks before picking a favorite. I want to see them over and over again. These are worth it. Phil
Thank you very much, Phil, next video is Tuesday, new images to contemplate ;)
Great photos! I was musing as to whether a shot with the camera up a fair bit higher would work. You could take the horizon line out of the shot completely.

Same here in the UK.

Thank you very much for the kind words, Randy :)
I like the second photo better. It has more a sense of mystery.
At 8:30.... So Angelic .. fantastic. 💯😇
Personally, I prefer the second image. I too think you should return to this spot when the weather is foggy and rainy, possibly using the 10 stop filter to smooth out the scene even more. Great video, Mads. I always enjoy your content very much.
I love the final one
Stupenda composizione 👏👏👏
Interesting video - many thanks. I preferred the first image. For me, it gave it more scale, which added to the mystery. I can see how you might want to eliminate the horizon line, which is quite a dominant (somewhat unwelcome?) feature of the image. Lots of food for thought for me (trying to!!) create similar images.
Wow! Both photographs are gorgeous. But I definitely prefer the 2nd one. It is hauntingly beautiful!
Thank you so much, Ellen :)
I appreciate that you had an idea and concept for this long exposure beyond the minimalist idea. I like both final images with the first edging out for favorite. Thanks.
I like them both!
My heart was in my mouth when you walked away from the camera into shot. I imagined the bridge to be bouncy and the camera ending in the drink. Love both images but the second one IMO has the edge. Thanks, love your videos.
Both are excellent but my personal preference is the first image
I used to do lots of long exposure images may have to do some more
I like the second version better. But the first picture is wonderful. The second picture is very mystical. Amazing pictures!
Very nice image. The blurry subject really makes it ethereal. Great shot.
I prefer the second. I think Haunting is a correct description.
Super dope! I prefer the first one too. The second one looks scary
Love both of them!!!
