I was quite frustrated with the flat light during our cruise up the Inland Passage to Alaska. But then I decided to make the most of what light I was given and began to think about, if not monotone, what would make an interesting low tonal range, low contrast photo. This one has a soft golden quality SOOC, but I rendered it to B/W. At first, I thought it was too dark, but as I study it, I think the black is at least as important as the white. I also thought about cropping (1:2) out the lower third of frame, but decided I liked the original aspect ratio. I am posting it here for opinions or suggestions; all comments welcome.

It's very nice just as it is, David. I wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks, Eric; I appreciate the comment. Attached is another in that series. Color rendering, of course, can affect aesthetic preferences, but these and some others I have not posted are new ground for me. They are not abstract, but they are moody and I find that appealing.

Both nice, but I much prefer the monochrome version - that's really nice.

The color one has an entirely different mood from the B&W one, but I like it a lot, too.

The colour one for me.
PS: These don't display well on the iPad. If you can, please provide at least 1100px images in one dimension.

Thanks people!
Rajan, the dimensions are 1200 px on the long edge.

Oh, I see. If I click on the thumbnail part of the image gets cut off. But if I click on the link it fires up alright.
