Challenge: Landscape II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Location: Clovelly Beach
Date: Nov 6, 2005
Aperture: 16
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/125
Date Uploaded: Nov 7, 2005

Looking through the first bunch of images from the 10-22 on a beach walk. Saw this face in the surf on one of them and decided that it made a good challenge entry. Great to be back in the saddle. Taken in colour, hue/saturation, brightness/contrast and channel mixer to monochrome.

Cool tonal contrasts. Bumping up.

Awesome contrasty B/W, I just with that the water wasn't blown-out. That's the only thing detracting from this otherwise perfect photo. The foreground detail is awesome. B/W works well here. Nice job.

The shadows are very dark, the highlights bright... conventionally speaking I'd say this is too contrasty, but it does have a strong impact here.

Nice content, composition and B&W toning.
Your CCD/CMOS needs serious cleaning though. :)

I like the view point. The white crest of the wave gives so much dynamic.

What I don't like it the post processing. I can see that this was done to emphasize thw water but in the process balance was lost. It has beed over done. I think that you chose a place where these waves are not random. It seems that they re-appear. You could have taken adventage of having a digital camera and you could have studied the subject more thoroughly. In this case a film camera would be better, as it would force you to think about the scene while making the shot not after.

It's a 7

Red filter? Love the contrast and composition and the choice of black & white works really well. 10. Great work.

I really like the effect here, the title is very fitting. What I don't like is black (line/shadow/fence?) in the lower left my eye keeps getting pulled to it.

High contrast works well here. Shame for the dust spots in the sky.

I didn't mark you down for it because this is basic edit, but you may want to seriously consider cleaning your sensor!!!!! Very noticable in the upper right corner. That aside, nice b/w conversion, it's good to see one because I like b/w landscapes! 8
