Hi CaliRay
You lot are big on building these types of iers on your beaches aren't you? This reminds me of the piers of Huntingdon - an absolute bane for a surfer I could imagine. I like the idea of the B&W, I probably would have increased the contrast and black tones a little more, but it could be my monitor on this infernal laptop which tends to make colours look a little washed out. Anyway, nice job, have a good RayDay.
Cheers
Lisa

To delpeoples: Piers, surfers, washout, etc...
Gidday Ozlisa,
You surprised me when you mentioned Huntington Beach Pier, for it was my main surfing beach in my youth. I even "shot the pier' one day, but not on purpose, for heavy surf and a rip tide carried me through the pilings. For this image, I converted a color digital into "infrared mode" in Photoshop Elements. And I deliberately left the background washed out. So now, I will have to "Do Overs" and return to San Simeon, for color versions, etc... Work Hard, Play Hard, Sincerely, RAy Last edited by photoray; 12-19-2011 at 05:51 PM. Reason: misspelled word
