Description
This was taken on the same trip as my previous two deviations from Godrevy. I really wanted to try B&W in seascapes with out a square format lol, i do eish a had a wind angle lens for this shot as i had to have my tripod kind of half way up a large rock behind me to fit the white rock in the forground in.Iam quite happy with the result exept i think i could done more with the sky, but im sure to attempt B&W like this again...

Nice contrasty shot. Could perhaps be improved with a bit more detail in the shadows. Looks like there's quite a bit of black clipping.
Really nice composition.

I mean, the histogram is stacked on the black side, meaning a fair portion of the shot it all just one black tone.

Personally, I think that B'n'W is a bad idea on a long exposure, cuz It makes me a strange feeling to want colors there. And that blurry thing -- I think that 'doesn't fit in a B'n'W.
But that's just my personal oppinion

sometimes you cant do anything with a sky that simply isnt there, i think this works well without a strong sky, you found an excellent lead in line that keeps the eye in the fore/middle ground for long enough.
the only critique i have is with your spelling, mind you pot kettle springs to mind...where do you live?
