Fons I like the b&w image - its really nice. The others are too grey looking for me

Natural light appears quite flat this time of the year, on the coast under gray overcast rainy..

Fons you are right of course. Just because its overcast doesn't mean we have to stop shooting.

I really like the b&w bikes

I was thinking the strand only needs a touch of color added by some people , and the you show the color images ... looks like a very nice place for a walk

I also very much like #8 the ATB'ers in B&W. It's just that in the colour version the plane is more visible. Great shot!

I like number 6 best so far.
The unconventional framing made me revisit it.
The drifting sand looks impressive. I'd fear that the gear got a blasting.

I like the color version. Interesting subject.

But the B&W version works even better in my opinion giving a feeling of depth. Also the clouds are more present, giving a dramatic atmosphere.

Thomas,the Df and the glass did take a beating from the sand, salt and the rain, at one point i had to unscrew the eyepiece to clear out the water.
And the body felt sticky.

thank you Francis

4, 5 and the bikers (bw and colour) would  be outstanding if flashed (700ws or more)
the bikers in bw are anyhow great  and i do not get the name of the painter who did no 2,   200 years before you - hm (2 ladies dressed in white with umbrellas....)

Why flash, Thomas?

Monet?

flash separates - it will only be reflected by the foregorund, all other light is lost in infinity.
With it you get strong colour, and adding a certain angle to the motiv you can intensify
its structure in that "grey" environment.

the artist, i think it was Kroyer (from Denmark)
