Riding the curl

Very effective and attractive conversion. Nice tonality choice. Fine document - compliments Linda!

lovely clarity Linda... from foreground to infinity.

we always faced with innumerable choices to tone a picture and I really appreciate how you selected your tint with this one - no other could as effectively serve the old world atmosphere I feel here - a contemporary picture with the grace of an old picture. It has a certain idle feel I truly remember when as a young man I visited my grandparents and spent hours looking through their photo albums.

I guess I never really tired of those pictures and only later understood how that particular vibe nourished my own aesthetic. I absolutely recognize the same dreamy quality here. This is a beautiful photograph guided by the instinct of a confident artist rather than studied intellectual deliberation.

like it a lot especially for its feel, agree with Carlos, though there's a lot of movement the photo has an idle, carefree atmosphere which makes the viewer's visit here a pretty relaxing experience. I find the parallel curved lines of the fence and the bikers riding along the route nice aesthetic components. Best regards.

 

High praise, indeed, from Carlos the master of tonality - and deservably so. The sand and sky are the perfect backgrounds to set off the palms and the bicycle riders.

It is indeed humbling to have 4 photographers whom I admire greatly give such positive comments. I appreciate very much your encouragement in coaxing along my photography education. ~~~~~~~~~~L

I love the soft tons of the very pleasant view....

It's a splendid looking shot with excellent tones. IMHO if you could have moved a tad to the left and placed more space in front of the cyclist, it would have been even better!! But nevertheless well done Linda....Regards

Thes scene reminds me of a post impressionist painting .. lovely work, bravo.

Lovely b/w scene with a delight of atmosphere. Excellent capture, Linda. Warm regards
