Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

The last of my series I took at the border crossing. There were some unbelievable opportunities here. I'd love to hear some thoughts, it's sort of the first time I've tried this type of photography. I dodged the foreground for the bubbles that were rushing in with the tide, and burned the shadows a tad too, and exposed the entire thing for the sky in Rawshooter. These used to support an old cannery that was burned down.

Very nice image. I really like your b&w treatment of it. Were you standing in the water? It looks like you're right out in the middle of a lake or something

Very moody and almost eerie image. Great work.

Just what do you think you're doing Dave?

The tide was coming in really fast. I took one take with the tide line in the picture, and one with it at my feet, then I had to bail.
This was one of those really long sandy shallow beaches just south of the US Canada border.

This is quite a powerful and balanced image you've created, I like it a lot. The B&W conversion is also spot on

This is a great image, I like it a lot.
Very good composition and b/w conversion.
Good work.
You could try a tighter crop on the top and bottom of the image.
It would give more impact.

What does that button do....??

Great pic, maybe crop the bottom a bit more but leave the clouds as they are. Love what you've done with the toning.
