Carlin Park in B&W
Sorry for my lack of posting and commenting been very busy at work. Here is a image from my favorite little stretch of beach not far from my house. Not as well known as Coral Cove park but still a very photogenic area. Not a lot of color in the sky so I went with a B&W conversion.
Canon 6D, 16-35 f/4IS at 16mm, 3.2s at f/16, Manual Mode, Evaluative Metered, ISO 100, single exposure and my normal processing techniques using luminosity mask the B&W conversion was done in Silver Efexs

I am not entirely comfortable with the language of landscape critique. If it were a duck it would be go time. In any case I like the image. The long exposure, b&w and waves lining up for depth all working here.
Hey Don, I hope work will go easy on you for the remainder of this year!
That foreground is fascinating! And the B&W works really well, the tonality is just spot on. This is highly subjective but I am not quite sure with the split 50-50 composition though. I feel that the sky somehow is taking away slightly from that beautiful FG.

I normally do not crop to square but did think about it for this image here is a crop version and you are right I think the foreground has more prominence with this crop.Originally Posted by Adhika Lie

The square crop works well for this, I was going to suggest a crop off the top.
This does the trick.
I like the processing, a nice look for the bland sky.

Yep, I agree with Dan that the square crop works really well!

Yes I like the suare crop too, a nicely balance image. I appreciate you didn't want the sky to takeover but I wonder about a bit more contrast up there?
With more contrast in the sky

Don, the last repost nails it.
Sensitively converted, and good use of natural contrast.
Hi Don, I agree that the last post is it...great scene, well caputred and looks great as a square crop...well done as usual!
