Bit of an experimental image here. I have been trying out some new processing techniques on this image primarily using selective gradient masks. As always your comments and criticism are gratefully received.

It's stunning with mono reductiveness and I like it... but not as much as the colour version which I think has more impact and says more for some reason. Smile

A very clean mono conversion, Derek. The 'band' of sea is a perfect blank canvas. I'd probably still choose the portrait, colour version in a straight preference but they are two very distinctly different images.

Nicely converted Derek, it works well in the 'landscape' orientation too.

Wonderful mono image Derek. Full of moody atmosphere. I really like the central composition of the steps.
