Hi from the CC Club!

Looks like it was a cold day there!

First thing I noticed was your ISO, wow I never knew it could go down to 50.

It was a brave choice to go black and white with this shot, I think you could have gone with a longer shutter speed on this one for the creamy smooth like waves that is very popular right now. This would have contrasted nicely with the sharp jagged rocks.

Your rocks are interesting in their shapes, but I am not sure if it is the conversion to BW that has made the seem very over sharpened, there is a halo around the rocks from it. Playing around with different positions would have eliminated the ship and the branch. In post processing, if you use the selective colours and hue and saturation, then turn it into a BW, you will find that it brings out some amazing contrasts and details that get overlooked.

I am looking forward to seeing more of your work!

And to think sometimes I complain about not having enough room to live in.

It appears as though you either did not understand or chose to ignore the challenge description.
