What about this one ?..

I think I got you wrong Mark Are you talking about a couple of single rocks by saying 3/4 rocks? I thought you meant the rocks at the right bottom corner and I was reluctant to crop the image because as you say the image would be spoilt if I did.

was thinking more of cloning than copping Binnur i think cropping would spoil it

Hi Kaye, I'm glad you liked it I think the darks are needed to be dark in order to make the sky and reflections look powerful for this particular image. But I will edit one more sunset image in B&W and I don't think the darks will be so strong in that image because of a different sky and composition. Believe me there are much more contrasty B&W and much more colorful landscape/sunset images of some photographers in some books and some articles I have been reading for some time. So, mine is just exploration and trial

I really like this, but, contrary to everyone else think perhaps the darks are too dark when viewed full size

Thank you very much for looking and commenting John, I'm glad that it is an image to your taste

That's on the money Binnur. It's a lovely image. I wouldn't change a thing (well perhaps some space between the pier and the far shoreline but......).

The photo has an eerie feeling... like the calm before the storm. Very nice.

Beautiful Binnur! I don't think that the blacks are too black either and I like the fact that you are trying something different. In a way this image is cool because it doesn't have color and it allows the viewer use their imagination - was the sky on fire or a lovely shade of pink? I don't know and I don't care to be honest but you get the point.

Thank you very much Shane , I'm glad that you liked the image. I think photography is a such a vast subject that trying different things never ends
