A distant pilot station · 02:55 PM

This the first and only B&W photo from me that is accepted in to PPG. Another one from this series was rejected, but I think now that the better one got in...

Congrats Georg that is an awsome photo - the mood is perfect for BW

pcarfan · 03-31-2009, 04:24 PM

An absolutely gorgeous shot...

Damn Brit · 03-31-2009, 09:23 PM

Impressive Georg, it looks great.

Igilligan · 03-31-2009, 11:03 PM

A stunning capture Georg... you must have had a soul grin when you saw this in your viewfinder...
Hats off on a very deserving PPG photograph. This is what it is all about.

The fog and the mist really adds a lot of sentiment to the shot

thomasjmpark · 04-01-2009, 12:53 AM

I think this is great. I love the shimmering effect, like heat waves. Great photo

**Sailor** · 04-01-2009, 05:01 AM

Great Georg - just the right mood with B&W. Wonderful job.

I agree with these comments, superb shot Georg. A 'soul grin', that is a new expression for me, but I think I know what it means. BTW, the image reminds me of a submarine rising out of the water.

I like it is a photo. I think he can be rotined in the coloured variant also.

"Soul grin"!, Yes, thanks, you brought in to words what I felt when viewing this scene through my Sigma 100-300mm, you could not see this properly with bare eyes, but through 300mm it was a great scene!

Thanks James, I did not even have to pp that much, just some usual adjusting in addition to converting to B&W!

Thank you Thomas! There was a big temperature diofference between the warmer sea and the really crisp and freezy air, which brought those phenomena visible!

Thank you, drmartin! The coloured version looks very similar in to the rejected version.
