Fishermen

I like this but I find the fisherman on the extreme right getting to much of my attention. I would consider cropping this between the last two fishing rods about the middle of the two rocks that join the jetty together I think the curve would stand out better with the fisherman.

Thanks for your comment. Is this more or less what you had in mind?

Yes exactly! I think it is a much stronger image and still a great panoramic composition.

^ Yes, the crop improves it. The lighting seems a little flat, though. Is that what you wanted?

Not really. I tried lots of things unsuccessfully, maybe I should start from scratch. Any suggestions?

Well, you could try a curve to set the white and black points--that would increase the contrast, but it's best to go back to the original color version and play around with the conversion channel mix first. If you post a color version, we can give it a shot.

Here. I reset everything, this just has a bump in exposure. I will have another go at it tonight. Thanks!

Here's another version, trying to follow Richard's idea.

Earache

I like the color version in post #8 - the subjects (including the buoys and rocks) are so small in the frame, the color helps them stand-out from the background.

You may be right. I'm still undecided. ..

This is a very nice capture Cristobal. I wonder whether it needs to be "either or" with respect to the color/B&W question. I'd like to see the people in color on an otherwise B&W image. Just a thought.
