My first black and white shot
I decided to experiment with Photoshop a bit. This photo needed to have the horizon made horizontal--some iffy technique with the camera--but I was happy with the focus. I have also wanted to tinker with B & W and this picture seemed a good candidate.

Very nice. What camera do you have?
A Canon Digital Rebel XT
I was abut to ask the same question.
Black and white is perfect for those gulls. It almost seems like 3D.
I loved the wild water one too.

Dare I say I think it should be a bit more crisp...a little more contrast?
Psssth! to all of your critics! I like your own work. Anon's poem is great!
I would say this is a very good shot. I will also say that in general b&w digital can be very tricky to get a good contrast shot. I would like to see a bit more here and the best way to do that is through trying different b&w techniques. Gradient Map is a very "contrasty" way to get b&w. Anyway, really like the shot and hope I helped.
Joe.
What a wonderful photo.
