    Excellent night capture, terrfic in B/W brings out the tones and textures in the foreground and as well as the reflections on the water.

    That is so cool!
    Love how the reflection of the lights looks like it’s on just the sand – no water involved!
    Makes me think of a very Early James Bond movie! lol

    I think this is definitely your best black and white. The reflections are fabulous as is the glow of the lights on the shore. I really like the darkness of this.
