The joy of experimentation in photography is one of the eternal appeals in my opinion. You've done very well with the conversion. Nicely captured and presented

@EYES WIDE SHUT: I agree completely with you. I like to try new things, ideas. I'm just a begginer...
Thanks a lot Paul

Como imagen indpendiente del tema me parece interesante la composición con franjas de diversos grises, pero no sé si me gustará más la versión en color que anuncias.
Para eso estamos aquí, amigo, para comentar y proponer mejoras.
Saludos cordiales.

I love the tones and the blur. It is always fun to just play around and see what comes out.

This is most sucessful I think , it is a simple and restful image that would look good on any wall.

j'aime cette immensité balayée par le vent ou la mer, une plage infinie ponctuée de rochers, les yeux se perdent au loin...photo romantique..

What technique did you use for the B&W conversion? The contrast range is great.

28 Jan 2009 11:31pm

@Richard_Irwin: I didn't do much. I converted the original RAW file into BW and slight changes in each color channel from the grayscale. I used Lightroom.
Thanks Richard

Sorry I cannot give any feedback or guidance as I am way at the beginning of the learning curve, but can say I really like this shot a lot, It has a relaxing soothing feel, I agree with some earlier comment this would look good framed and hung on a wall

excellent minimalistic composition and great b&w gradient across the frame - it works very well here and you have captured it very well!
