I'll admit, a lot of this image is thanks to luck as I was sitting looking through a window under the water and just hoping that someone would jump/swim into this shaft of light and not be blocked by another swimmer or bubbles. Finally worked out after about 45 minutes of waiting.
I've always been told that a good B&W image has two main components that make it a good photograph: Contrast & texture. Obviously content and composition play an important role, but if you have the first two you're on your way. Some people may differ from that teaching, but I've found it a good yardstick. I'm hoping that this photo has...
This photo was taken on a morning trip in the everglades. I have been trying to learn some of the post process techniques using Topaz, this happens to be Black in White impressionist. I would certainly welcome your comments or critiques.

I could not for the life of me get him and the shadow in the shot - so I had to go ask him to move!
