Weatherbeaten

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

On my Oregon coast trip last year I found some large driftwood piles on Harris Beach. This was almost monochromatic to begin with so I went ahead and desaturated it about 60%. I liked the subtle hint of color left. All comments welcome. >=))>

Specific Feedback

I went total B&W but didn’t like the result. I’ll be revisiting this pile (if it’s still there) in a couple of weeks and will be better equipped with longer lens and tripod.

Technical Details

I love dead wood. And I like your processing, with high contrast and just a little color. A very nice find and image.
