G'day all,

Went out this morning to get a few shots and test out the new lens some more. I had a location in mind but when I arrived the conditions were not what I was hoping for........too much wind for the reflection I was after. A change of plans had me driving round with the light coming fast (I hate that) So I ended up getting a few beach shots.

I really like b&w in the morning light..........

I did my usual to add more subject to the shot by jumping in front of the camera.....
dunno if it works for this shot or not? I think I would be happier if the subject was not me

C&C welcome

I really like the colour and B/W versions. The building on the point looks like a castle.

Great landscape Russt. I think the colour in this image is one of the best features of this scene. For me the B&W's don't have the same impact. The orange and blue sky is wonderful.

Are you looking at or away from the camera in the last shot?

Beautiful!

thanks for your comments WS, Smarti and Schell. appreciated!

Smarti, thanks for your opinion....I understand where your coming from. The subject is not that strong, I see why the colour is a big part. For me its more the tones. Oh and facing away from the camera

cheers

I'm with Smarti in that UI like the color of the original - but I also like the composition of adding the figure to #3. Any chance of doing a color version of #3?

Thanks Toad, I know you like foreground subject

Oh Smarti........... I was wrong with what I said before..........I am facing the camera. My short term memory is going I found that out doing some more pp, I have another where I am facing away :/

#4 only because Toad asked.........(any excuse) I put as little more into this one to try and strengthen the subject and a touch more on the sky........

Russt - Please dont take this the wrong way because I think this is a stunning shot that I would be proud of.
I just couldn't resist trying to give your foreground some purpose........



With respect
Shane
