b&w sunset

Posted by martie (Okinawa, Japan) on 6 February 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

akarui at http://akaruiphoto.aminus3.com/ , suggested that the image "silver sunset" originally posted on 9 Jan might be a good candidate for a b&w conversion. I thought I'd give it a go - what do you think?

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my photos. And for those who left a comment - a double thank you!

It works great in b/w, Martie. The shimmer on the water is even more pronounced. An excellent photo.

It looks like a space ship is about to land, the photo (and the mood) look really different.

I agree with Steven, it seems that a spaceship is about to land! In B&W it has a different mood!
