Silhouette #1

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 23 February 2008 in People & Portrait.

Taken in Exmouth last Sunday, I was hoping to put this up in colour, but the setting sun gave the sky a really unpleasing orange glow!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Excellent b&w. When you turn it in b&w, it's really nice to play with the different colour channels to get a perfect result. I like your photo very much.

I think it looks really nice in black and white, so I'm glad you decided to do so.

Dave- I really like this one in black and white. It has such a feel of purpose in it with the foot raised and the boot sitting there! It wouldn't have been the same without the people in the scene! Good work!
