Beautifully dramatic image, Peter. The reflections and lines along the beach are excellent. Nice comp and processing. Chet

Your processing has emphasized the drama and the lines very well.

All of the elements come together in a natural way that is pleasing and the b&w processing looks great. :cool:

I like this. Nice drama and tonality. You might consider cropping some of the dark area at the bottom of the frame.

I really like the subtly here. It would be great if you could recover detail in the blocked out areas of beach. That would really help carry the eye through the frame.
