You know it's funny, I've never thought about doing Topaz Simplify in black and white. And then the SEP adds a whole new dimension. I really love how the combo looks together in this scene. The black and white really works great here.

Well, I live half a mile from this view:

This one's 2-3 miles east of there:

This area's 2-3 miles west:

But, see, I live on Cape Cod: Google Earth it: I live near the "elbow" on the south side. There's no part of Cape Cod that's more than a couple miles from the water, actually, except some parts at the very butt of it where it connects with the mainland, so we're lucky that way.

THIS shot, as it happens, was taken ON the mainland, looking TOWARDS Cape Cod; we were over there transacting some business that day.

So we're lucky, yeah :-)

The noise is added in SEP 2 — like a film grain selection, but I'm doing it without a preset, just grabbing what looks right. I like SEP 2 noise. I am getting tired of smooth.

Hey Robert love this shot. The only thing I don't care for is the upper right mooring. How far are you from the water, I see a lot of boats in your work.

Great in its simplicity, did you add the noise or was it already there? I happen to like it.
