This is the penultimate shot that will be auto-posted while I'm away, and is probably my least favourite of the four. As always, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

I like the pebbles in the foreground but I feel the fence(?) too soft to really work. Shallow dof is not always a good choise to make me feel the depth of the picture.

There are much better images here to see.
I guess with colour I would like it better.

Once again, classic Chromasia.
You're in a tough situation Dave; your work is exemplary, and this shot by countless other photobloggers would warrant a "best work ever" kind of comment. However, by your own standards your audience almost expects more from you than a "classic" shot. You continue to improve and impress, and I don't think that'll plateau anytime soon!
Anyway, i do like this shot... I like your B&W conversions (I'm excited for the next tutorial). Hope all is well!

I like it. The fall off in DoF works well methinks. Each to their own!
Wow ! really beautyful composition and treatment ! I like this render ! great shot !

Beautiful composition. Great DOF.

looks like there's a hand pointing its finger to the left right in the middle of the fence!!! =)

There is something so chaotic but simple about this photograph. All the textures meshing perfectly together. Beautiful!

im sorry, but ever since you became a full time photographer and left your teaching job, chromasia hasn't been the same. anyways, hope the new job is going well for you...

This one almost seems too monotone to have my eye drawn to any one area. I think I do like the previous one much better. Although this one isn't bad.

lots of nice elements in this shot ... pretty cool how the eyes are naturally drawn to the fence ... pebbles make for a nice touch
Hi there Dave, I agree with the "a chromasia classic" idea about this shot. I see that you used an f/8.0 aperture, so I suppose that the blur on the fence is added in pp ( with such short focal length and that aperture you usually have a very deep DoF ). I'd suggest to enhance the blurring even more... my eyes try and try again to focus that wood! ;)

Sometimes the simple aproach is the best way to show of the world!

the eye is lead through the image beautifully. mal

Not my favourite either...
The lack of view on the horizon makes me wanna look over the fence, but I cannot!
Maybee you should have mooved in closer and peep through the hole iin the fence and give us more detail on the shoreline and horizon...

Looks like the fence could use a little touch-up! :-) Nice b/w capture
