#3 is interesting though I don't believe it needs the street or the sky.

I appreciated the exact, precise camera alignment in #3; this is a deliciously different view of these bath houses, so different form the kind seen in other locales. #2 looks borg standard, but reasonably well-executed. #1 shows that wide-angle look that makes what ought to be the most exciting part of the pier appear the least significant part of the pier; the approach to the shot in the first picture is just not working for me, with too much foreground sand that has little interest, and as stated, the end of the pier is small and un-involving.

Yes is see, but I thnink will be a too panoramic shot no ?

Thanks, took some minuts to get this alignment

I see what you mean, I wanted to use the shapes in the sand as leading lines, but it didn't really show up on the image.
And yes the little cabin should be the focal point of the picture, now you say it it bother me ! I should go back there !

Yes, going back there could be very rewarding I think. I agree with you that leaving in some street, and some sky, makes the bath houses feel like they are being seen within some type of context. I love to revisit my favorite places, over many years' time. Each time one returns to a place, there's something a bit new to see. I agree--the observational cabin on the pier is very interesting. One thing I like to do is to use different focal lengths, not just short focal lengths, to see what might work in what fashion. I personally am usually left a bit bored by very wide-angle, very short-length views of most landscapes.
