six poles

six poles planted by someone on a desolate beach in the middle of

mozambique. comments/thoughts appreciated. thanks

Stuart,

 

Neat concept. I like the overall tones, especially the sky. I'd try to crop it and skew it to exagerate the diagonals formed by the poles and the water line against the sand.

Good B&W photo, imo, with lots of interesting textures created, in part, but the strong composition and the shutter speed that has not blurred the receding wave, but "pebbled" it, almost. The sweep of sand from the left of the shot is set off well by the dark cloud behind it, although the 2 farthest left poles are swallowed a bit by the deep black of the cloud. Is the shot digital? If so, I wonder what your process for making B&W images is. It works. Good photo.

Stuart, beautiful image...I love your abstract sense here... wonderful clouds...so much going on here in one shot...excellent find and composition..regards, Rajeev.

thanks for comments, all.

 

Ian, this is shot in film (pentax 6x7 on velvia 50) and then scanned. the B&W conversion was done in PS CS2 using the channel mixer.
