Textures at the beach---the last is a bit graphic
I struggled whether to post the last shot or not because I didn't want to gross out or offend anyone...but from a textural point of view I just REALLY liked it (saddened that the poor duck had come to such a sad state of affairs) but it was a photo op...I never understood why "freaks" would take pics of dead things---but for a moment I guess I understood...IF THIS OFFENDS ANYONE PLeeeaaase let me know and I will remove the post.
the rest are just textural shots (IMO) of rocks, landscapes, lobster traps and shells...fell free to be brutally honest...
Thank you in advance
all of these were shot in BW mode at about f/2.8-8.3, at 1/4 to 1/30, I can't remeber the rest...some are soft because they are hand held most were timer and propped on a rock...Post editing--Photoshop: dodging burning, contrast and unsharp mask, and curves...
Really Unique Collection...
...my favorites are the "Rock and Trees" and the "Shell in a Shell". With the former I might considfer reframing the image to make the trees a little more prominent. They just seem a bit too far away / almost (but not quite) incidental. Otherwise they're all very well composed and shot. The duck doesn't bother me... it almost has a "fossil-like" look the way its feathers are stretched into the sand / debris.
thnaks I never thought of it that way

I guess a pic of a person in abody bag SHOULD be more impactful than a dead bird...scary to think that it doesn't really affect us because w are becoming more and more accustomed to violence and death around us...hmmm
thnaks for taking time out from your crazy schedule friend :D
