So, what was better for you - take the photos in B&W or change them to B&W from colour? I don't think my camera takes B&W photos - I must check it out!!

The contrasts look really good here Dave. Nice strong whites and greys - and deep blacks. It's an excellent image - I'm impressed....

Bravo

I must say David, the way you handled the B&W settings has given you the perfect B&W picture.

It looks amazing (and I am not a B&W fan) - makes me want to rethink the B&W possibilities.

Congratulation for your sister and for José.

This is wonderful David. Superb tone and contrast, gorgeous reflection. (I was on a photo trip yesterday to a marina and the scene reminded me of you and wharf postings.) José will enjoy this. Good day! Danilo

Hi David

I hesitate to criticise, because I have a high regard for the majority of your other photos.

The scene you have taken a photo of is stunning, as I remember seeing it in real life - and in your colour photos. I think a B & W photo does it an injustice. I know you were trying something different for a reason but I find this a disappointing photo from you.

The background trees and rocks blend in together as a grey mess rather than the beautiful colours they are . . . sorry, but this is my opinion.

Stunning details in this! The clarity of the reflections in the water is quite remarkable and the contrast levels for your B&W conversion are superb

Wonderful photo David. I like the rich contrast between the blacks and whites, not to mention the crisp reflection in the water.

Cool.

Hi David,
Both the WS version and this are beautiful B&W images.
Great range of tones, good contrast, and deep blacks. Well done.
I've tried B&W with the 5D, but I feel they lack the punch of a good colour image desaturated. In PS Elements 3 I use Enhance/Adjust Colour/Remove Colour.
Aparently desaturate always leaves the colour information, even at 100%.
Remove colour does exactly that, saves some file size.
Cheers,
Pete.

Hello David


Amazing B/W.
I am amazed with the beauty of the place and of the beautiful visual effect!
the light that contemplates in the boats is wonderful and they enrich
still more the b/w. Beautiful composition and reflexes!
Excellent visual and very well composed!
Greetings, pasamdo!

Sorry I missed this yesterday David! TL has been slow and and maddening at times! nice reflections here, a little worried it looks like OE on the side of the white boat, most likely unavoidable! But love the water in this David!

Hello David
Your works prompted me to experiment with 3D framings and now I OUGHT TO realize such spectacular depictions that imitate a print on Multicontrast paper made with a grade 5 filter.
You're fortunated to be surrounded by such appealing sceneries.
Have a g'day.
