The Rock, Morro Rock that is, in the fog.
From the first evening in Morro Bay, in August. High but dense fog shrouded the upper reaches of the Rock, and of course the seagulls soaring around.
This is hand held, looking almost straight up.
Something kept pulling me to process this....I thought it might possibly work as a b&w as well.

Thanks for the looks and your comments.

Barry

very nice barry, the movement really makes this one (and i like the lone standing one on the cliff even better if that is a bird) . the color version is for me!

The colour version brings out the texture in the rock better so it would be my vote.

Love the perspective of looking up!

I really like the comp/angle on this one Barry. Colour version for me as well.

As others have said, great angle and comp. I like both of the two versions.

Hey Barry,

Good eye here. I think definately B&W.

I'll vote for the color version, as well, Barry. There is so much variance in the coloration of the rocks, that I think gets lost in the translation.

Very nice capture.

Cheers,
Ed

I have never said this before I like the B&W better. Gulls seem to stand out more. Nice shot either version by the way.

I think this is incredibly lovely, Barry. I love the color version, personally.

The mood is captured so well. Kudos.

Barry

Great eye really like the uniformity of the birds, the detail of the cliff really enhances this cool takeaway as well. I really like both versions here, nicely seen Barry

Great comp! For me it's the color version, some of the different shades of brown map to the same gray, and so some of the subtlety of the color is lost in the B&W (in my opinion).

The gulls give the cliff scale. If you can get back there and capture this with a nice blue sky there may be much better drama.

Nice pair - but once again I will stick with my usual color obsession out of the two. The shades of gray don't offer quite as a nice a set of contrasts as the colors on the cliffs.

Nice work.

Colour for me. I find the BW loses a little bit of strength compoared to the excellent colour version.
