[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi all,
Another older photo, this time from back in summer in France. I was standing way up on some cliffs when I got this one, having the lens all the way at 300mm. It was very hard exposing for both the dark rocks and sunlit white foam, so I decided to go for a high contrast b/w approach. I didn't crop this one, I thought it worked quite well as is.

PP- contrast and levels adjustments. Desat, USm and frame.

Hope you like it,
Jako

Hi Jako,
Beautiful capture of waves and rocks, b&w is a very good choice. I love the contrasts.
Sylvie

the wave, always a fascinating story.
Good work here, Jako!

The B&W really accentuates the contrasts between the wet, dark rock and the white foam. Nicely done.

TFS,
David

Hi Jako,
I like your splash in B&W. Very good acuity on the wave and great range of tones. Very well done! Annie

I like the BW, very nice *O*

Cool B&W shot!

Simple but effective work. It does not have to be complicated or sophisticated to be good (^_^). Love the ambiance and composition here!
Bravo!
Robert
