Your fantastic black and white picture is my
winner! Please add this photo to flickr.com/groups/bwphotoaward/ Feel free to post this wonderful photo into
our weekly and/ or monthly competition
I like it very much! It made me really feel
something ... it is maybe his calmness in
front of the big turn ... I cannot explain it
well ... there is an "optimistic
melancholy" in this photo, which is one
of my favorite feelings :-)
The distant pier is half a degree off, which
is a shame; and there's too much foreground
blurriness for me - and I really am not sure
about the excessive grain, either.

I'm at the very beginning of your stream.
Unfortunatelly, this is my usual way how I go through - from the latest shots to the oldest.
Let me say theat I'm honestly impressed by your shots. I've seen just the thumbnails, yet looking forward to see them all in more natural size.
All the tones, _SIMPLICITY_, perfection, subjects... it's truly stunning and breathtaking.
Congs a lot.

This is a fantastic shot, minimalist composition, good tonal range (that black horizontal gets me) and the grain is.. well gorgeous.

a crooked horizon and pier in a pic like this is unforgivable.

Lovely shot:

Ρanayotis (65 months ago | reply)
half a degree?? did you use a protactor? I feel lucky my eyes cannot see these details :-)
gdiazdeleon (65 months ago | reply)
Looks as if your camera misread the ISO setting...

i might add I love this pic. Would be a save, but... (see my note above)
Ursula Pfitzer (65 months ago | reply)
Ever hear of negative space?
Why do you even bother with these DeleteMe monkeys whose eyes are apparently placed crookedly in their skulls..
