Very nice image indeed :o) You surely have to go and reshoot for the beach challenge. I like the pw you did on this one, specially the boat... Well done.
Thanks for the comments Tej;) I hear what you are saying about doging and burning...But I'm not aiming for 'reality', I'm aiming for a mood. I take photos because I can't paint very well, so this is my 'painting'. I know a lot of people hate it, and I respect that.:))
BEAUTIFUL. This is wonderful capture and framing is just perfect. I like how the subject fills the frame. B/w is the right choice. I think you dodged and burnt the photo. Though it looks good (at the large) but looks a little artificial on the front. Maybe you should dodge/burn is again to make it look a little more natural. Still a great photo for poster :)
This is a perfect entry for the "Beach" challenge. It's unusual in perspective and processing. The combination makes an interesting piece. Great textures in the sky as well as the boat and the beach and I really like the dark area at the bottom left. I do like this as a black/white, but I'd love to see the color version too.
