Morning light over Fingal Head, New South Wales.

Another wonderful morning at this beautiful spot... warm sunshine and invigorating sea air.

Many thanks for your c&c.

Very nice David - lots of action in the ocean and sky. Excellent B&W conversion. My only not is that I might crop down just a bit (5%) from the top.

hmm, i like the comp and light here--but the sky pp looks a bit odd to me; i think if the sky is going to be black than the clouds should look white, and the cirrus here looks kind of gray. Hard to say though w/o seeing the color

Nice shot tho

Great clouds, light, and a dynamic flow all leading to the trees. Excellent comp and processing!

Thanks guys for the feedback.
Bill, I tried a crop as you suggested, but it seemed to loose some of the flow... I'll keep trying, so thanks.
Stan, thanks for pointing out the dull-ish sky... here's a version with a brighter sky.

Very nice B&W image with some great contrast . I think the repost is an improvement and like your processing.
