A nice study in contrasts, Fern. First the black silhouette of the would be surfer stands out against the brighter background. There's also a nice contrast between his stationary, contemplative pose and the kinetic energy of the other beach people. Well done... Was this photo taken in B&W or was that done in post-processing?
Thanks for your kind words. In answer to your question Mike, the photo was taken in colour but because I was shooting into the sun the whole thing was quite blown out. By making it b&w I could then deepen the contrast to create an image that works better I think.
Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities. Click the photos to see them larger!
