this shot is really great, i like how its black on the horizon and gets lighter the higher up you go, i also enjoy how youve been sort of centering your subjects lately in your shots, it adds a unique style to the photo, by the way did you use a filter on this one, good job..........................joe

Hmm.. I can't remember if I've added you to my "I hate you" list yet :)
I think I'm going to call the group "The California Four" (you, James, Sai and Alisa)... I guess the name will change as more of you wacky west coasters, who seem to have all the photography skills, get added. :)
Nice shot. Dark and moody. I love stuff like this, reflects my inner self.... umm... wait a second..
Cheers,
Dave

Excellent black and white, it invokes the emotion. Did you dodge & burn or was it printed straight? Either way great job.

Thanks for the comments.
Mike, this was inspired by the work of Rolfe Horn and dodged and burned and you noted. This is a daylight shot and was darkened to add the mood.

I am amazed that this camera can produce such good images. I own one of them myself and one photo many of my friends consider as my best so far was taken with Kiev 88:) Congrats on well deserved ECP!

"LOL.. who would of thought that of all your photos a pile of rocks would get Editor's Choice :).. hehe"
most probably everyone but you alisa, this really is a brilliant image and probably the steves best work yet too..
i was sitting on those rocks at about 3:00pm, nearly around the same time the picture was taken and i got confused into thinking it was a moonlit picture..
and thats what makes this image so brilliant..., it has been rendered so much tone and mood, when ordinarily it looked nothing like that..
and with this image you can notice that steve has reached another level in photography, if i may say so..

Great shot Steve! Very moody and intriguing. The tack sharp horizon is a tad distracting for me. Seems to reveal the image has been altered. Softening it to be consistent with the depth of field would make it a 10+ - just my opinion. Nice work!

Patrick,
Yes, the image has been "altered" as you put it and I stated that above.
I darkened the sky and the water separately since they are at different levels in the original negative. I dodged and burned various areas to achieve the desired mood.

Hi Steve - sorry I didn't communicate effectively. When commenting I understood the image was "altered" (maybe manipulated is better) and, like Sai, think the manipulation is brilliant. I was trying to say the sharpness of the horizon seems a tad inconsistent with the image's depth of field. I made a split screen to illustrate my (possibly worthless) opinion. Bottom line ... I absolutely love the image!!

Very expressive, I like the composition, but you could be a little bit closer to rocks, 'cause of details and shadows (my opinion). Regards.
