"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
I loved the first one & faved it, but I love this one even better. Much more powerful in B/W. I agree with Rob, the tonal range is wonderful. I have no choice but to fave this one too. Excellent work Bill ~ nicely presented also.
It does indeed seem to be more mysterious in the B&W Bill. Great DOF in this giving us a sense of just how large the ocean is here. Beautifully done and presented my friend.
The b&w has a strength that is diminished somewhat by the presence of color. The tonal richness and composition remind me a lot of the work of Ansel Adams.Kudos, my friend. Kudos.
