Hangliders were taking off the bluff in Hermosa/Redondo. I had my camera along for a bikeride and caught this cool picture... would've liked a nice sunset-though, darn overcast days. Added some brightness and lots of contrast along with black & white to achieve the old-fashioned look.

What I like: I like the idea of the image and the graniness in the execution. I think the grain adds to the effect of the image.
What I didn't like: I took a point off for light because the image lacks a 'punch' in my opinion. I know you couldn't control the light and I'm not sure if that point should have been taken for exposure instead. Perhaps the image is too dark?
Look out below! Hope he doesn't run into anybody on the beach! ;^) I like your choice of B/W here as color would be distracting. Image is a bit grainy and you've gotten some vignetting in the corners. Composition is very good. Overall a pleasing image. Good luck in the challenge.
