St Ann's Bay Sun Rays

St. Ann's Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada

Taken several years back with my Canon 20D.  Regardless of the camera, I love the light and wave action  captured that morning.

Thanks for looking.  Comments and critiques very welcome.

Beautiful B&W scene with the sun rays and the wave rushing the shore. Well captured and processed. Could it be a bit  CW?

Hi Eva,

Your vision in this capture is stunningly good, and from front to back the image grabs you and keeps you interested. Black and white is such a sweet choice, and you nailed the tones wonderfully.

 

Awesome shot!!!

Nice early shot, Eva. It's fun to go back and sometimes see your old images in a different light. The best part of this image is the sense of movement in the wave. The glistening rocks and the spiritual sky is wonderful as well. I would have chosen a lighter frame for this composition, though.

Only 3 comments??? Weird, because this is a great B+W I think. Love the motion in the waves, the clouds, and the rays coming from those clouds. Very well done, Eva!

Hi Eva

That's a really lovely texure generated in the sea and a wonderful display of light rays bursting through the clouds.  I like it very much and frankly the little Canon is just fine for web images and smaller prints.

Great foreground detail leading out to a cool sky. The B&W works very well. I would love to see a bigger version. Could use a bit of a CCW rotation?

Eva, This made a great looking b&w image. The foreground rock detail is really nice and the wave action / motion looks great. I also like the clouds and the light rays in the background add a nice touch. Does appear like it needs a bit of ccw rotation.

This is awesome, Eva.  Sorry I'm so late to comment.  Love the anchor of the fore rocks, the movement of the waves and the sky is to die for.  Beautiful work.
