It does look good full frame and also in b/w. Color would have been nice as well.

A dramatic scene you captured Jen & perfect in B & W. I'm enjoying how the rocks lead up to the gigantic boulder & sky. I notice a little noise / grain, but to me it adds to the moody atmosphere. Excellent! Saved & faved!

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By. Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience

Nicely done. I think the B & W and the slight grain gives it an "old time" look.

I do like the B/W contrast. Looks ominous, as if it were another planet. I like it. :)

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

Well done, Jen. You've made it appear even more rugged than it actually is. Great job!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

I like all the wonderful gradations of black, gray and white that make this very dramatic and of course, I love your wonderful perspective.

I like in B & W, done much to my liking in general, so It's a keeper for me. Thanks.

I agree with the rest. B/W was the way to go. The slight graininess just adds to the image ambiance. Great job.

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind.

Yes, the b/w is ideal for this.
A fine work Jen.

That is one rocky beach!! I haven't been there in a while, but this is interesting, your deciding on b&w is good but almost not necessary, considering it was dark there to begin with. LOL
I always like how the water pools up around the stones. Nice job on this one. Verena

This is terrific. I love the angle of the shot and the decision to post-process in B&W was a correct one I think. I would love a touch more punch in the sky .. (a little more post-processing). That rock looks like the dorsal of some gargantuan sea monster!

i love this. I agree that black and white was a very very good choice. great contrast, i love all the subtle highlights and shadows in the rocks and little pools in the foreground. great composition too. i love this image, great capture!
