Shooting into the sun for back light, I wanted to show how desolate the beach can be in October. I like the look of the black and white, the seclusion and that barren land look.
What category to use? At first I was going with nature and landscape but as I wanted the focus to be on the people, that is the category I will enter it in.

You succeeded beautifully Frank! The back lighting sets the scene for that harsh barren look. Love the B&W. #1699144Tammy M. Anderson November 08, 2017
B/W works well with this. Great comp. and lighting too. Well done, Frank. #11656310John Koepfer @PresentPleasures November 08, 2017
Excellent use of light and b&w processing to create the feeling of isolation and barrenest!! Also love what I think are oil riggs off in the distance!! Wonderful work Frank!! #11656324Patrick Rouzes November 08, 2017
You definitely succeeded in capturing a mood or desolation and departure, Frank! A+ from me! #11656351Jeff Robinson November 09, 2017
This is outstanding Frank! I think that either N&L or T&P and possibley People would all work. Well done! #11656361frank w. degenhardt November 09, 2017

Outstanding image, Frank! Love the perspective, the expansive and perhaps lonely feeling of the beach, interesting line of grass and dunes. Can't wait to see part 2! #11656625Nancy L. Green November 10, 2017
