The beach is probably my favorite place to shoot. The waves/water, the clouds, the colors, the atmosphere is always different allowing you to go to the same spot at different times and get very different photos.
Here is a black and white from my most recent shoot of the Bogue Inlet Pier in Emerald Isle North Carolina.
Beautiful conversion and use of long duration shutter opening, but I would be tempted to alter the crop a bit to remove some of the less interesting sky and moving the end of the pier closer to the center/left edge.
Thank you. I do like this crop! If I ever print it I will probably do something like this. The crop also takes care of the fisherman which I debated removing and I think I like it better with out.
