Sun rays over the estuary
Posted By: Gareth, 01-11-2014, 10:50 AM

These were taken as I walked back from work. One of the views my village enjoys of the Bristol Channel / river Severn. Got a few rain drops on the lens when taking these which I nearly imploded about!

Pentax K5 & Sigma 17-70mm

1. Colour



2. Mono (debating burning the foreground out?)

I like the coloured version more. The greyscale one maybe looks better with a little more contrast I think, but maybe that's just me.

I like the B&W, but as regards the burning the foreground, I would go one step further and crop it out. It draws attention away from the subject.

Some amazing light there! I like them both - color version for the subtle colors, B&W because of the play of light. Will look forward to seeing your revised version with the change in the foreground.

Great! I'm partial to the muted colours.

Thanks all

Will have to get cracking on the amended mono version!
