I like 2 and 3 but #1 is a bit of mystery. What is the green foreground? It looks quite odd to me.

[Alan]

Thanks Greg. It's a wave... - 300mm shortens the perspective.

Original

Ah yes, I can see that now. That extra saturation had me beat. Almost looked like a mossy bank leading up to the waters edge.

I thought of the Rio Olympic pool but but Ironwood beat me to it further down. Never mind, great minds think alike!

[Ironwood]

#3 is my favourite, the B&W tones really lift the scene.

[avkomp]

the bw is a clear winner. fine art. good work

[Sully]

#1 looks like the same water from the Olympic pool
Love the textures in #3

[Isac]

All good but the B&W is doing it for me Alan. I think gulls are a great subject.

[Alan]

Thanks everyone.

I'm glad the B&W got some likes - it was an experiment as I wanted to emphasise the lines and textures more than the slightly washed out colours of the original

Cheers

I sometimes convert crappy images to B&W before discarding them and am quite surprised at what I can turn into a keeper. It can often make an image with awful colouring into something worth framing. Just my thoughts.
