Shot while shooting for the Six challenge. The angle of the Sun really gave some dramatic angles -and I thought this image had some great lines and angles.
There was a bit of distortion at the edges, so I tried to fix some of it using skew.
Processing - RAW image with hue/saturation conversion to b/w. Cropped, added contrast using USM at large radius, resized, sharpened with USM at small radius. Done
Wow. The light, the shadows, the mystery introduced not by hiding in shadows but by juxtaposing them with bright light, solid lines between them. Excellent.
Too bad there's not an "E" challenge, lol, cuz you have something pretty cool there. The first thing that caught my eye was the the beach being framed in the background. And then I like the sparkling sand too.
The light does give some nice angles. The glistening of the water in the background and the ripples in the sand in the foreground add nicely to the picture.
Shadows and light, often avoided in photography. Yet the harsh shadows can be used to reveal beautiful form on the beach, as in your photo. Simple as your photo is, there is something compelling in it. I learn from you to try and find that simple compelling image.
this must be a beach house.. I really like the textures from the ground all the way up. Never been in one or even seen one of these. hmm..thinks I need to head to the beach this summer.
I like this! For some reason, I used to not be able to fully appreciate abstract types of photos, but lately, I have been loving them. The lines in this are very crisp and clean. I love the grungy element to it as well -- and of course the inviting view of the outside. Yes! Very nice indeed.
A beach house unused during the winter months - a changing room of sorts? The water beyond is quite a nice surprise. Now if we'd only had an "E" challenge that week! Nice handling of a very broad range of light here.
