The Pinnacles - Part Three Final

[Josh-H]

This is the third and final photograph I am going to post from the recent trip to the Pinnacles at Cape Woolamai in Victoria.
I rarely do black and white images; but this one screamed to be B&W at me.
Thoughts and comments on this final image welcome as always. And a more extended write up on its making on my Blog

You did a fine job of capturing a rich variety of textures

Very nice.

It reminds me of a fine image done many years ago by a friend of mine. His was an 11x14" contact print of a round white stone on a bed of darker stones. Lovely tonalities in both his and yours.

Josh... Don't quite know how to map this suggestion, but will try anyway.  That stone, as long as it is so centrally dominant in the lower third of your image and it's volume being defined by a light source seemingly different from the others it becomes almost too demanding to allow the enjoyment of the image as a whole in a flowing way...I don't know if you dodged to make it so...but wonder if you would consider a forward slash diagonal alond the left 1/4 to 1/3 of that stone and then subdue the balance with a midtone and highlight burn to allow it a more easy presence in your otherwise very satisfying image allowing it to bathe in the same light source informing the rest of the image......Patricia
