This is wonderful Tom and would be a great entry in the B&W challenge.

I'm really enjoying the gradient look to this Tom. Would be a great image for Lyn's B&W challenge.

This 'against the light' image is a very moody and perfect entry for the Wednesday B&W Challenge, Tom!

Looks good, The picture has three well balanced elements, the sky, the clam water and the sandy shore. Its good that the muddy/sandy shore is not smooth cause it gives nice distinction between the calm water and the round patch. The bird is an additional bonus. I am wondering whats that round thing in the sand a bit in the mid right. Looks like a hook to tie your boats for parking.

I did enter this in Lyn`s B&W challenge , meant too anyway , thank for reminding me. Your comments seemed right on the mark Amit , and I see what you mean now. I noticed the hook thing when editing , don`t know what it is but probably not anything for mooring. The white dory was just to the left here so the pink cast was removed for this B&W.

This makes a superb challenge entry, it gives it a silhouette look, and to me it looks very good. tigs=^..^=

The simplicity of this is really beautiful!

The bird found a happy place, nicely done in b/w form.

Makes a for delightful silhouette Tom....

Good point of view too

Simply beautiful tom.

Super B/W Tom, looks like the seagull is praying for his great day
