Excellent photo. This is the kind of photo I'm working towards producing. Nice rich texture.
FYI: Changed my name on here also to avoid confusion :{

Thank you Autumn. I never get tired of hearing positive comments.
I should upload a larger version. I have this printed and it's awesome in a real size.

Congrats on the EC Steve.
I keep coming back to look at this photo (it's been in my favorites since the day I wrote the favorites feature for Usefilm) ... I was looking at it in the slideshow mode, and I just love it.
It COULD be a lunar lander, but it really is just a beach lifeguard station... Love the black sky, the luminescent waters.. Perfect exposure.

Yes I agree about the NASA lunar landing. I was thinking this was a PS job of sort because it does look like it's from "another world". Love it!

I love the title. It izs the lander and the beach is the moon. Maybe NASA didn't really go... You could add the moon walkwers witrh a touch of PS. It is too sharp to be the Apollo images, oh well, such is modern optics. I will never again look at a lifeguard stand the same again.

Hi Steve - sorry I didn't communicate effectively. When commenting I understood the image was "altered" (maybe manipulated is better) and, like Sai, think the manipulation is brilliant. I was trying to say the sharpness of the horizon seems a tad inconsistent with the image's depth of field. I made a split screen to illustrate my (possibly worthless) opinion. Bottom line ... I absolutely love the image!!

Patrick,
Yes, the image has been "altered" as you put it and I stated that above.
I darkened the sky and the water separately since they are at different levels in the original negative. I dodged and burned various areas to achieve the desired mood.

Great shot Steve! Very moody and intriguing. The tack sharp horizon is a tad distracting for me. Seems to reveal the image has been altered. Softening it to be consistent with the depth of field would make it a 10+ - just my opinion. Nice work!

"LOL.. who would of thought that of all your photos a pile of rocks would get Editor's Choice .. hehe"
most probably everyone but you alisa, this really is a brilliant image and probably the steves best work yet too..
i was sitting on those rocks at about 3:00pm, nearly around the same time the picture was taken and i got confused into thinking it was a moonlit picture..
and thats what makes this image so brilliant..., it has been rendered so much tone and mood, when ordinarily it looked nothing like that..
and with this image you can notice that steve has reached another level in photography, if i may say so..

Thanks for the comments.
Mike, this was inspired by the work of Rolfe Horn and dodged and burned and you noted. This is a daylight shot and was darkened to add the mood.

Excellent black and white, it invokes the emotion. Did you dodge & burn or was it printed straight? Either way great job.
