Righty-o. This is the next up in the series of shots I took down at the beach the day before yesterday. With this one I actually took it with the intention of converting it to B&W when I got back. I also converted the original shot to HDR before turning it to black and white, and did a little bit of dodging and burning
I might be submitting the colour version of this at some point, but for now, this is all you've got
As you placed this into the No Mercy folder that means you want a brutally honest Critique from #thephotographyunion
Great black and white. Nice perspective. But using HDR might have done you favor in a bad way..It seems a tad blurry..But if it's a fake HDR, done out of a single RAW file, then i guess it's the slower shutter speed that got you. But having the shutter speed even slower, would have createn a nice flowing feel to the water..So in my opinion you've taken it just at the wrong shutter speed, a tad faster..or slower...Also nice use of frames. I've seen a lot of misuse of frames lately, but this one is done good and suits well. It's a good capture so you should be pleased with it
I was going for the flowing water look, but I couldn't manage to get the shutter speed slower, without blowing out the shot (I think I had the aperture wrong)

It was actually done with 3 separate shots.
