The water front at high tide. I converted to greyscale to emphasize the shapes. There wasn't much color to begin with but it has more of the "ink blot" affect in B&W.
Sony DSC-R1, ISO-160, f8.0, 1/50, handheld.

This is pretty cool ,Gary. I like the graphic quality of this shot. This one would make a great face when rotated vertically with some creative cropping, dodging, and burning. Nice

Excellent reflection here, Gary. The B&W / greyscale seems to possibly aid with defining the reflection too. Very nice detail.

This is nicely stark and graphic, Gary. I see the face (in fact multiple faces) that the perfect reflection creates along the water line...just need to be laying sideways on my computer table... The details that are beginning to show in the larger version add a lot.

Wow, spooky when looked at from the side. Almost could be a winter scene after a dusting of snow. Lots of interesting details to explore and I enjoyed the different gradations in this shot.

Great abstract, Gary. Your orientation here is necessary to fit the theme. . .but this would work great viewed vertically! As others have commented, we might find all kinds of interesting "things" in this image. Without any explanation, I think the viewer would be hard pressed to know what they are viewing in the horizontal orientation. Our instinct would be to turn it on it's side. So, my thought is this image would be most successful as a vertical abstract than a horizontal landscape image. . .after this theme. BTW, great job on the B&W processing to produce this graphic image.
