Shot about an hour before Ride the Wave. The setting sun was creating crepuscular rays that were flowing across Kolana Rock. That special light caught my eye, and I liked how it seemed to flow parallel to the water raging downstream.
I'm a little on the fence with this one. The phenomenon isn't quite as strong as I remember, and I ended up cropping quite a bit to focus on that. Does this work for you guys? BW isn't my specialty. Any comments and critiques are greatly appreciated. Feel free to be completely honest.
17-40 @ 40mm, f/16, ISO 100, 3 exposures blended in PS.
I like it Mat. The conversion does look a tad flat to me (no true black as far as I can tell) but take my opinion with a grain of salt as I am no expert with conversions. I like the ray of light coming in from the right too.
Nice choice for for shutter speed Mat. The rays and rapids make for nice drama. On the contrast yes it might need a little punch on the darker half of the histogram. Nice work!
Works for me... I like the converging lines, tones and particularly the way the main elements (ridge and water lines) somewhat mirror each other. I might favor cloning out what appears to be a faint contrail. Nice work!
