A brief diversion from B&W landscapes...

Lacking a bit of contrast? An image with potential to render it in different ways.

Everything is soft and perfectly framed. Looks like a good place to end the day.

Thanks all, it is a nice spot - we were camped close to the beach here.
The fish must have been elsewhere though ;D
 
I did reduce the contrast to achieve a softer look, but Stamper, as you said, the editing can go in a few directions.

I like the "soft" look. The shapes of the dead trees remind me of people--either waiting for sunup OR lingering after sunset.

Me too. (You can almost hear the gentle lapping of the waves on the sand...)

Another vote for the soft look.
