Breach!

A beautiful shot, Laurent, probably your most successful of this beachside series. The play of tones between earth and sky is absolutely Turneresque. I'll favorite this one.

Hi Jack....Turneresque?I looked it up online...Thank you for the appreciation but mostly for parking this one in your Favorites.When I processed it,I kept good note of the comment you made on the other B/W shot of this series which I also retouched based on your observation and tried to attach to no avail for your perusal,so it ended up in the upload queue.Salutations-Laurent

Marvelous. So simple yet beautiful. Much more dramatic than color version analogue.

Hi Andrew,...Thank you kindly.These dunes are mostly deserted now that the cold of winter is pointing its nose.This landscape will again change dramatically in a very short time when the snow arrives.Salutations-Laurent

Nice light with good composition, well done.

George,..Thank you for looking in and for the appreciation.Salutations-Laurent

Can't decide which amazes me more, the tonal work or the design. Excellent work, Laurent

Wayne,...After I had muted this to B/W,I applied a touch of warming sepia;the wind drifted in a fresh coat of sand and was just strong enough to curve the tall grass on the left.And the sky put up its best face for the shot...glad you like the result.Merci et salutations-Laurent

Beautiful landscape Laurent. black and white is perfect here, with a nice balance of lights and shadows and a good gray scale. ....Kind Regards, Rosario.

Rosario,...Thank you for viewing and for the kind appreciation.Salutations-Laurent

A discussion between light and dark - beautiful grain and wideness!

Hi Vlad,..Thank you for the nice observation.This is ''street'' for me and the WA lense is a good tool.Salutations-Laurent

We artists can't always produce masterpieces but we can recognize one when we see it. Congrats again, Laurent.

Wayne...You are too generous with your observation,but I do appreciate that this image has caught your attention and that of some of our very talented colleagues here on PN.Merci et salutations amicales-Laurent
