I think you're right, Chris. The colors seems to be uncomplimentary and is competing directly. What if you desaturate just the sea? Just an idea.

What? Is that water-body really a sea? Or a flooded street & grounds? Those electricity(?) poles are confusing me. Sorry if its a stupid question of highest order. I tend to do that sometimes.  |

Definitely needed a B&W treatment. This is a body of water (the Gulf of Mexico) which lies between the actual Gulf and St. George's Island, a narrow barrier island. Some of the best oysters in the world come from this immediate area. The inlet is quite shallow save a deep water channel for the fishing boats. The power poles simply provide power from the mainland.  |

Now you're talkin. For me, I'd keep the sea grayish and the storm front darker to make the shot more dramatic. I like drama, that's why. Hehe.

Tried that and it didn't have the effect I thought it would...this is actually about as much drama as I can get from this image..but I do have some other exposures yet to play with.

Chris, This is an interesting and “difficult” image – well at least for me it is. In the colour version you've managed to get a nice delicate glow going in the sand. I think that contrasts nicely with the dark storm cloud. I wonder if you might lighten / make more visible the right side line of poles? In the B&W version the delicate glow in the sand has turned into a …... thumb print smudge. Sorry but I really think Willie and you have it wrong here..... Oh wait – there are two of you and one of me.... OK, right, where is that stone I was going to crawl back under?  |
