Brilliant! It confuses the eye to the point of 'is it 3D or not?'! It's like a sculpture.

Oh bravo dear friend! This is magnificent! Just incredible in monotone! huge applause :)

Well done

Very cool shadows:)

Hey this is gorgeous...ooooh I love it.

Superbe jeux d'ombre - Excellent cadrage !

very fine photo.

This is WAY good! I think back to other shots from this same fence, and I see how you're seeing things differently. A fascinating process, and a gorgeous result!

Beautiful capture of shadows!!

Your POV matches your Chicago wrought iron fence POV...will have to keep this in mind when I see my next fence:) Very cool.

Very well spotted, and I love it in B&W...

very well done

excellent b/w my friend

Superb B & W. Composition is wonderful Great work.

OOOH! This is GREAT! When I first saw it in thumbnail I couldn't tell what it was, but my eye was immediately drawn to it. The lighting is beautiful and I love the way the reflection is rippled on the sand giving it an almost other worldly quality. The black & white adds a lot of texture and depth to what was already a very nicely realized shot. Great work!! P.S. I'll hopefully be back to posting as soon as things settle down a bit more with the new place and I buy a new computer. Hope all is well with you, and again, a great shot!

I get that hot, gritty feeling of a wind-swept beach from this. Excellent b/w

I love fence shadows!!! And these are undulating, besides! Don't fence me in! Sensational bit of clarity, perspective and contrast in this great foto, Maz!

Lovely shot Nice B&W well done!!

Well done ! Congratulations on being selected I look forward to seeing many more of your images in the future!

I love the starkness of the monochrome! Brilliant choice for this excellent presentation. This is definitely something worth zooming in on. I could easily see this hanging on a gallery wall too...with lots of people in black turtle necks looking at it. Beautiful work!

Excellent

Kewl shot... Aloha

yes Marilyn, I really do resonate with this way of seeing things. To me, these angles & shadows & microcosmic cosmos's (ie, whole worlds made out of a single view) are as natural as someone else's still life. In fact, this is a Marilyn still life. This energy & penetration is just etched into your cells. Didn't this get LWITG? Did I see that correctly? (I'll check right now...go get a snack, lol...) (tick, tock, tick, tock...) Yes, you got it this week! Good. It belongs there! Anyway, it's always great to see you in b&w, since some of your shots lend themselves really well to the tonally pure world of b&w, and this is almost a fence & its mirror image—except that the mirror image is the shadow. A real focus-in-on-one phenomenon shot, and you get a whole unfolding universe in the process. Shot well, cropped well (if you cropped it) and a piece of visual music. Sometimes when I was with you, you spoke so liltingly & gently about your life, then you'd turn & shoot, and I'd think: Pictures will come out of that that will turn the world upside down. Great energy, an accordion of light & shade, I love the piece. (You ain't gonna see this scene in Chicago!)

Love the ripply effect of the shadows on the sand, which shows up so well in B&W. Beautiful shot!
