nice effort, persephone :D looks to be a nice beach scene. the shot suffers some, though, from underexposure and i think the oof right side (cliff?) is a detraction. there are some really good links (http://www.dgrin.com/forumdisplay.php?f=24) in the hall of wisdom here on dgrin, on bw conversion, and exposure, and more. you should check 'em out :thumb keep at it, and keep posting your shots :deal

thanks for joining, and sharing.

Thank you for the link, will be spending the majority of my time there I think :D The shot is actually ice receding from a river bank, a ridiculous play on the words "Spring Break." I see what you mean about the tree on the right, I found it to draw my eye in to the photo, but upon further review, I'm seeing it through your eyes better. Thanks for taking the time.
