strand

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....)

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)
