This is a beautiful and wild-assed image, Jimmy! GREAT job on the black and white, and it even LOOKS windblown.
Wonderful.
...wild asssed image. Ha. Thanks, Larry!
I didn't think the color image did anything for the drama in the scene and the light didn't quite make the colors pop. I really didn't think the black and white was going to work...boy, was I wrong. Thanks again for the wild assed comments

Jimmy,
That image has legs. The shot stretches from here to infinity. Really great job on the sky and general contrast. Harley has me intrigued...where's the mud shot?
Thanks Tim. I like your legs analogy. Funny stuff.

Great shot Jimmy, and great conversion.
Did you guys get to the badwater area? I couldn't belive haw much water was there. I think the lake stretches for 10 -15 miles now.
Thanks Charlie...yup, Badwater was a big lake. Nothing there to shoot. I still need to head there to shoot the salt patterns, but when? Not sure how long until the lake dries up.

Nicely done Jimmy. I had my own share of frustrations this weekend closer to home in Borrego Springs. I was hoping for some wild and dramatic weather, but ended up with flat and gray skies and lots of rain and wind-damaged flowers. I'm glad you're not the only one who like black and white for this type of work though...
Arka C.
thanks Arka...at least the flat and grey skies can offer a good chance to shoot macro. When given lemons, make lemonade.

Great stuff, Jimmy! The B&W conversion is top notch. And the composition, something special.
Glad you found a little time between deluges! It better dry up out there by the time our Zion trip comes around! Otherwise, we will need an arc for the trip down "The Subway"!
Carl
Yup, I ordered a waterproof subway car
Thanks Carl. I am sure it will dry up by the fall.
...wild asssed image. Ha. Thanks, Larry!
