Canon Digital Rebel
Photo taken at Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park

I like how this photo came out looking black and white with no color correction.

Robert,
Nice and moody. I don't think I've seen one from this perspective. BTW, i don't believe I've seen a post from you. Welcome ! One other thing, you can make your images 640 pixels on the long side. The bigger the better. :wavey:

There was actually no b&w treatment to my photo. This is just how the light was when I took the photo.

Thanks for your comments.

Hi Robert and welcome to the forum! Nice first post! I'd crop a bit of the extra sky out - maybe halfway to the tree on the left.

Well done and again welcome!!

Welcome Robert! I like the mood created here. This is a unique perspective.

Hi Robert,

I like that you see black and whiteness first... then you see the subtle color. Great mood.

This is a nice image. I always like the mood that fog can create in a coastal image. Hope to see more of your work! and welcome!

Howdy, Robert, nice shot, great mood. My one nit would be that rock on the left, half in and half out of the photo.
Posted by Robert Heathcock on March 29, 2006 at 11:44 AM
Mark, What would be your suggestion for removing the rock on the left? Cloning, cropping, or next time moving camera frame to the right to eliminate the rock on the left?

Thanks, Robert

Robert, welcome and nice first post. Share more :smile:

Robert, at this point I'd clone it out. In the future, really pay attention to the edges of your frame, moving left or right to work those details.

It would have been better to get the whole rock, but if you're adverse to cloning you could crop about half of the beach to balance it better with rock. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing a touch more contrast in the closer objects, but that's subjective taste and I think the image works just fine with the subdued tones. Well seen.
