Hi from the C Club,

I gave this a 9 when i voted. I though it was a brilliant photograph.

I love the fact that you haven't got some bikini clad model doing this, this is what makes this shot so special.

The only thing that I can see is the banding in the sky which is easily remedied in Advance.

I wish I could make this a longer critique, but what can I say when faced with this shot. Stunning!

Beautiful. I really like the details and the transition they make from lighter than background to darker. Well done.

Every BW beach/water shot you submit does this, Ben. You need to do it every time. :) CONGRATS, my friend!

I really like the softness here - both in texture and color. The border seems bit heavy for this, I think a white border would have complimented this better. Still, one of my favorites of the challenge.

Pretty, but how do you get this effect in a basic editing challenge. Very curious.
