Outstanding work.

Neil Dolman   {K:26883} 8/31/2005
Hi Paul, nice shot. great details in the sand which looks really good in B&W. I'm not too sure about the lack of detail in the cliff part, but that is a matter of taste. But still you've insopired me to try some B&W when i'm next down at the beach :)

Best wishes and of course not forgetting to say thanks for your support and comments you have given me.

Take care,

Your friend in Switzerland
Neil

Thanks for the comment.. dodging may help... but I tend not to do a lot of PS work on my photos

Roland Lacson Roland Lacson   {K:12214} 8/20/2005
The density of the blacks gives depth to the image, although I would've dodge just a little in the foreground sand (Lower Left). Overall a bold composition , nice one Paul, best wishes.

Paul-

By the way if you have a home, just plant a bunch of flowers that hummingbirds like, and put up a sugar water feeder, within days you will have plenty of hummers to photograph.

Hi Paul,

sometimes, BW shots should be overdone. I think this one is great with the UBERbold outcome. the attractiveness is actually coming from the strong dark parts. I love that sparkling sand parts and the sand textures. great work and a fine entry for the project.

best wishes,
Thilo

Good work. The silhouettes are powerful, and the textures of wet sand and the sea are the perfect foil for those impenetrable blacks.
