Moonlit beach

Colour or BW?
4 secs approx f11 at 1600 ISO

I like the color version

Thanks - what about if I do the B+W a bit more like it looked to the naked eye?

Thusly:

black and white for me. but both look great!

The redo for sure! Your original posts didn't really do anything for me. The contrast in the redo is much more eye catching, IMHO.

I like the redo but I still like the color one more.

Agreed, i like the redo, but theres something about the color, a mood. A calm bliss

I think the red versus blue of the colored adds something.

Thanks fer the feedbacks folks

- I think I need to try to make the colour version look more like moonlight though as it just loook s like it's daytime witha strong ND at the mo - non?

The perspective is pretty neat. But there isn't any foreground interest.

It doesn't look moonlit to me because it is so bright. The BW version looks more like desert to me than beach.

Do you get a lot of deserts that near the sea in your neck of the woods?

well I was trying more for mood than foreground interest with the BW version - but I understand where you're coming from

I've spent a little time in a few different deserts...why do you ask?

If I hadn't known the B&W pic was an oceanscape, I wouldn't have assumed it was. IMO, there is nothing in your photograph that stands out as an ocean.

good point - it's so easy to make assumptions
