[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 564957, member: 12257"] Here's a few more I messed with... A nice, contrasty (I know it's not a word, but I used it anyway) B&W sunset shot... [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]217320._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then, if you can believe it... an iPhone shot that I toyed with a bit to draw out what I wanted. :) One of my fave beach shots I've ever taken! [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]217321._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then, while I was shooting the sunset, this amazingly beautiful woman walked up in a blue dress... wistfully looking out over the ocean. I swing around right before we left, horrible low light, settings for the sunset still dialed in, and snapped a quick couple of shots because it was a perfect moment and I thought I should try. This B&W touch on one of the shots gave me that Edgar Allan Poe "Lost Lenore" feel. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]217319._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then this pic... yowza. I'm still toying it with it, maybe adding a bit more saturation, but... it's grainy, it's glowy, the pier shack right over the top of her head is horrible composition, and... It's one of my favorite pictures ever taken. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]217318._xfImport[/ATTACH] [I]Random woman - I name thee 'Sea'[/I] She was stunning, like the sunset. She was strong, like the sea. A beauty to rival nature... and unaware of me. And I, the humbled man, captured the scene, my heart in sway. Then I, the broken man... quietly walked away. [/QUOTE]
