Entre la de foto a color y esta con acabado en B&W me quedo con esta.
El movimiento del mar es dramático.
Felicitaciones Steven.
Saludos.

Steven,
I can not figure out which one I like better the b/w or the color. Great caputre of that cold stormy water!

TFS,

Yes, well applied desaturation. Good ridance of coloring and keeping the storytelling focused on static standing-tall lighthouse against the dynamic waves.

Satisfied with your Sony?

Great shot Steven,

You have captured the waves perfectly, the way they almost merge with the clouds and that wonderfull sea makes for an excellant photo, well done

Hi Steven
this is a very dramatic shot you got here.
I like the fight of breaking waves vs. the (mostly) calm clouds in the sky.
The outstanding watchtower represents a nice item to look at.

Maybe the contrasts could have been a touch harder..?

A very dynamic and dramatic shot! I could almost feel the waves. B&W suited this pic.

Hi Steven,

To tell you the truth this is even more impressive and beautiful than the previous, coloured version!! This is PERFECT!!! More dramatic, more atmospheric!
Very very well done!

Quite dramatic. I like desaturation, but what if you left the colours on the lighthouse? Didn't you get wet while taking it?

Works extremely well as a b&w shot, although the longer I look at this one the more I think its a model from a Gerry Anderson tv show! :-)
Thanks for sharing
