The blue and brown tones are an essential element of this shot. The BW is just okay. I think the conversion leaves something to be desired. But even a perfect conversion won't take you to the level of the original color version. Paul On Feb 22, 2006, at 6:55 PM, Bruce Dayton wrote: Many

I think I agree with Bill: I prefer the BW rendering, but I think it needs more work. It's a bit lacking in the subtlety ... the color version's colors present a lot of subtlety that you need to re- express in monochrome values by shaping the rendering selectively. Godfrey On Feb 22, 2006,

Bruce, The sky looks wonderfully angry, but one can't see enough of the sea to tell. I find myself curious about what's to the left of the frame. A multi-shot pano might have worked well here. Rick --- Bruce Dayton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Over this weekend I took the family down to

A really dynamic image. Love the mood and, of course, the patterns. The tripod use suggestion is always a good one, (and I may have missed an earlier tripod comment) but looking at the image on my monitor, I don't see evidence of camera movement. Jack --- Bruce Dayton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
