I went out for a shoot on the beach this morning for sunrise. It was a starry morning when I left home, but quite overcast looking out to sea. This is one of the shots I was able to get that I thought turned out ok.

I'd love some critique please. I also changed my signature - tell me if it works for you.

    Karl,

    I think this is a nice composition, especially with the silky water effect. The flat light lends itself to a B&W conversion IMO. I don't think that's the only way to go with the picture though because the color version is quite moody already. An overall nice capture...thumb.gif

    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    Personally, I feel the color shot is the better of the two. I love the mysterious look of chains leading out toward the pier. Very nice.

    i like the b&w chain shot. agree that the chain gives an "ominous" feel that really makes the shot. great comp.
