Stu from Kyoto, Japan
I love the dark tones throughout this. It has a real "film noir" feeling to it, and Humphry Bogart might appear from the right at any moment!

@Stu: what a cool comment :)) ha ha .. many thx :)
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Nina from Haute Loire, France
A beautiful image, but that inspires fear, I do not know if I find myself alone on the beach at this hour!
8 Nov 2009 7:12am
@Nina: you can swim, nothing nicer than have a night swim :))

Thea from Leeuwarden, Netherlands
There has been a lot of processing here..but the result is very nice :)
8 Nov 2009 1:26pm
@Thea: thx Thea :) Not really , not so much processing , maybe contrast - that is all ;)
bigezbear from New Orleans, United States
I resisted the blacks in yesterday's photo. Here, in this shot, I surrender to your intention. I like the balance of the shades of gray from black to blinding white. Very difficult to achieve and quite beautiful. Thank you.
8 Nov 2009 2:18pm
@bigezbear: hmmm.. why ? I think that shot from yesterday is great according BW ! Anyway, thanks for this comment :)
Tamara from Aarschot, Belgium
Very nice B&W shot... the sky is marvelous ! Well done :)
8 Nov 2009 2:36pm
@Tamara: thx Tamara :) Enjoy your candies :)
don from spokane, United States
The objects sticking out of the sand make fine foreground elements. The high contrast of the image makes it very eye-catching and visually impressive. Fine image!
8 Nov 2009 2:50pm
@don: thanks Don for always generous comments :)

"Days full of rain / Sky’s comin’ down again / I get so tired of these same old blues / Same old song / Baby, it won’t be long / ‘fore I’ll be tying on my flyin’ shoes" (Townes van Zandt)
Brilliant shot & terrific perspective, Mariana. All the longing & loneliness in one stunning image. Great! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Excellent processing and great composition make this image special, Mariana.

John from Geneva, United States
All that contrast really sets the mood. Sunsets are usually set up as "beauty of nature" shots, but all the darkened features - the rugged posts and their elongated shadows, the dark clouds, and the course and rugged sand - give this place an ominous and forboding mood.
Well done.
8 Nov 2009 4:53pm
@John: thanks a lot John ;)
Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
Amazing light! The high contrast monochrome gives this image a very high energy. Wow.
8 Nov 2009 5:36pm
Ekios from grumf, Gabon
Strong B&W here, the right part a bit too much maybe ?
Still, it's the kind of shot I would like to have in my living room in big size !

Well seen and captured Mariana! It almost looks like the beaches in Normandy after the invasion..... ;-)

(Predictably) I like this one a lot. Great detail in the sky but it is the long shadows from the posts that make it for me ;o)

Seraphine from San Francisco, United States
you made the photo very spooky. it's not a place i'd like to go walking barefoot. which is a spooky feeling because i love walking on the beach.

The darkness does pull you to look for more, striking mood with the long shadows.

flyingwind风飞扬 from Bridgetown, Barbados
Just perfect! Not too many people could create the sunset beach like this!
9 Nov 2009 3:22am
Stephane Themeze from Maryland, United States
Highly textural! You nailed a beautiful mood on your composition. A strong black & white. The light coming from the left side and its play with the subtle waves is just wonderfully detailing and detailed. There are some out of the ordinary improbable shadows but, however, not too disturbing for my sight.
That sunset was a fabulous one. I really can feel it as you recorded it!
I love it! Yep!!!
Good nite Mariana.
9 Nov 2009 3:24am
@Philippe: no, I do not know HDR properly ! Even hate it how it looks when I try it :)) !

@David Nos: hey ! thx for your backward browse :))
Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
I love these random objects on the beach and its long shadows. Very good texture and grain, the sky looks like it is about to dump a lot of rain.
