My first submission for critique. I have often debated in my mind

where this photo should be cropped. If I were to get this

enlarged right now, I would probably bring the top down to just

above the highest tree on the right side of the photo (to help with

the closed in atmosphere), and leave the bottom and sides

where they are. But I think the photo could be helped in a way by

bringing the bottom side up to just below where the rock in the

foreground hits the water. The disadvantage of this would be

that the unique foam swirls at the bottom left would be lost. If

you would like, let me know what you think about the cropping

and and the photograph as a whole. Thanks!

Your comment rings with ignorance and poor humor.

The Senior Thesis in question was a project that my High School made all seniors complete, in place of taking final exams. I choose to have my Senior Thesis involve photography. All of the photos in this folder are black and white because our darkroom was only black and white capable. As you might or might not know, developing and exposing color photograph's requires more complex and expensive equipment than is needed for black and white work. I think you would be hard pressed to find many High Schools with color capable darkrooms. I worked on my project by myself, and that was what was available to me.

p.s. If you would have taken the time to look at some of my other folders, you would have seen color photographs. By your reasoning, I must have taken those photographs my freshman year.
