Elsa, this is a pleasantly deceiving image.  It is difficult to know when in a day it was shot unless you tell so.

It is an interesting way of the abstraction of the time.

Sunset was crap. Had to think of doing something else. But B&W can be very deceiving. Thanks for looking and commenting Akira. Much appreciated.

By the way, this image can be nice when printed on the aluminium...

It is a beautiful minimalist image that would be great if printed large on aluminum :D

the 6 people going into the sea seem be following a line

I have also used B&W to make a somewhat  boring color image into an interesting one

Elsa:

Very fun, the two folks in the lower left, and then the smaller ones further out work well, as does the diagonal line of the surf.

I could see a version with a bit off the top. 

Cheers
