This one is from Sintra in Portugal, close to Cabo da Roca and called Ursa`s Beach. Its a lovely and small beach with a not so easy acess.
In this particular day the wheater whispered for LE and BW creating this has the final result.

Cirtiques are most welcomed :)

Hi Luis,
this has a very effective look as B&W. For me I think I would like to see the ocean a little darker or the blacks in the photo lightened a bit. It seems a little unbalanced to me as presented. The long exposure works perfectly for this scene.

Dramatic, different and very pleasing. B/W is perfect here! I think Andrew raises good points.

Hi Luis.

Wonderful image design overall.. I think it is the black vegetation is a little too dark for me.

Hi, Luis, I really like this in B&W and with a long exposure. I agree about some of the vegetation being a little too dark and I could see lightening up the surf near the rocks just a very little bit. Nice image:S3:

Very nice - strong composition and the long exposure worked a treat!
I agree with Andrew's critique on the tonal range/conversion.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, and sorry for the late response. I did over contrasted the image on PP, leading to what was pointed out in here. Will have to adjust this.
