Here goes another below 6 shot, but I haven't submitted in a while, and well, here it goes. Probably get slammed for the grain, and for taking a picture of the beach ;).
The grain, the dullness in contrast, the angle - it's the definition of the beach in Oregon at night. I can feel the dreariness and damp cold. This was probably the most creative shot in this challenge, in my opinion. Nice work.
is that cannon beach? i can see the rock in the background... ps nice shot.
add: i'm bumping this up to a 7... i like this effect and think its underrated at DPC.
This leans more on artistic rendition and while I would love to see a tad more contrast I can also see the advantage of leaving as is with its soft tonal movement. Bumping up.
mm, looks like haystack rock!
// returning to add a further comment - I really like the darkness and grain of this image. the lines in the sand produce a good sense of visual depth. this is one of my top picks.
The grain and tone of your photo gives me a 1950ish feel. Like I'm looking through an old family album. It does match your chosen username. Bumping up after second look.
Nice shot, one of the few images I actually like image grain, normally detest it. I just think this would be such a stronger image if there was someone walking along the beach "fighting" against the wind, it´s nice the way it is but I feel it is missing something...
If you've never been to the Oregon coast in winter on a stormy eve, you won't know how true this photo reads, with the loose sand blowing fast across the hardpack wet sand, the sky filled with rain, and no human soul in sight. Great capture of a barren but beautiful landscape! My only crit: a closer crop might give this photo more punch, with less sandy foreground and more emphasis upon the sea monolith and isolation of the coastal village.
AH this is gritty and beautiful! I really really really like it. NO pretensions, down-and-dirty... You're gonna get hammered, of course, for "noise"...
