Shutter: 1/640
Galleries: Landscape, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Nov 17, 2009

Shot on the Oregon coast near the town of Oceanside. The huge rocks in the distance are the 'Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge'. The pattern in the sand was caused by a very strong wind that day that carried the sand along the beach in an incredible wavy pattern.

Nice in B&W. I would have contrasted just a little.

I like the b&w processing in the clouds, but I find the lines in the water in front to be too distracting.

I would prefer a colored version of it, because I am really not sure if the foreground is sand or water... Choosing B&W, maybe it would be better with more contrast, to boost the clouds in the sky..

The texture of the foreground draws you into the photo...great choice with the B&W...it makes you wonder if the foreground is sand or water...

Very nice shot, definitely smacks of the pacific.

I get the idea you were going for but I don't feel that it has come off. The "wild" is not apparent in the shot. I also wonder why B&W?
