"THE OAKS"

Really, really good. I can never get a good b&w from color.

Thanks Sar...I've been reading about some techniques in a Photoshop magazine, and thought I would try a few experiments....

One of the beaches here is called "the Oaks". It is a long climb down

to the water's edge, but worth it. I decided to try a B&W

conversion....

a ha...not all work and no play....

Linda, whatever you did certainly worked. This looks great from here. Love the composition and the beach showing in the background. Hope the storm is away from you and Roger.

Wonderful!

CJ...I appreciate your concern. We are nowhere near Larry, thank goodness.

 

Kim...thanks for the visit!

A pleasure to the eye...

Oh, very emotional. And the lighting is strong.

fantastic B&W...!!!!!!

Nice shot Lindaaa .... but I'm afraid it's been done before - sorry ... )-;

Beautiful shot. This image conveys a sense of place and emotion. So what if it has been done before. What has not these days.

Ken...appropriate correction...most of the rock formations here look like they could have come from the moon!!

Well that was my 1st thought ... even the Sea of *Occasional* Tranquility .

 

As for the image - the only thing I'd change would be to tone down either the highlights and/or the contrast just a touch - not much - it has an 'edge' to it that makes me want to squint - or is that age ? ..... )-;

 

The detail is excellent - especially in the water. Interesting tonal range - by that I mean the interesting shade of gray sky - complimenting the sea and *moon* tones. Remarkable too, that you captured the exact moment Roger splashed into the sea - trying to feed those damn sea turtles again

Ah. OK. I get the moon thing. I missunderstood Ken's comment.

Dear LLLLLLLLLLLinda, what a great and EXCELLENT picture, I didn't have any association with the moon when I saw this, but now I have because of Ken. And we are both in B&W as you told me in a comment, and we both are busy, I am working also in a house, I have a new appartment(painting, cleaning, decorating and more, first of april I have to change houses), so almost no time for PN, but we both explore and learn, don't we special woman.

 

Big kisssss, Els

Beautiful shot, Linda. Reminds me of what you'd see on a night-time stroll on the beach (not that I ever stroll on the beach at night-time!!).
