Sundown

Posted by Slackwater - Don (Spokane, United States) on 1 October 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

I liked the brilliant sunlight falling across the water and wondered if I could record the scene without blowing the sun out. Many would question a black and white sunset, but I found this a challenge and I like the result. I will be moving over the next few days and while I may leave an image to be posted, I will probably be unable to visit sites or comment.

B&W works so well here. I love how the sunlight is reflected in the water. I love the perspective you have chosen, with the shoreline at an angle, it gives the image energy.
