Theme: Beaches
Thanks to @dmcamera for Guest Judging this Week!
and a BIG THANK YOU to everyone that participated!
========================================
“I was overwhelmed by the beauty of some of the entries for the BEACHES #bwphotocontest. Thanks for allowing me the pleasure of taking a trip around the world with you to share your beautiful BEACHES, and thanks to @daveks for allowing me the honor of judging this contest!
It takes a bit of creativity to create a good black and white image from a beach scene, so I was overwhelmed by the superb quality of many of the shots entered. A good black and white image will always have a range of tones of white through grays to black. Although black may not naturally occur in the scene, a good photographer knows how to dodge and burn in the physical darkroom, or how to adjust the individual color sliders in Adobe Photoshop, or in an app to create a range of tones! As you can see from the winning entries, many have mastered this technique very well!
In fact, there were many more superb images to choose from, but choices had to be made. I based my decisions on creativity, originality, and black and white quality (tonal range from whites through blacks) with little loss of detail in white areas. If the horizon is visible in the shot, is it straight? Sorry , but I had to be picky for this round! Straight horizons are important in landscape photography!
Congratulation then to all the winners and to those earning an Honorable Mention! Well done!”

Love all the winners for this week! Great choices, @dmcamera & @daveks!! :)
Congratulations to all - love @txatxy's, of course the sky played a big part here for me... and the composition, curve of the shoreline... ;) - gorgeous piece! Now, I have to say something about everyone's!! @wnf's is dreamy, anyone would be tempted to spend the day there! @axeman's dizzying heights and the water looks menacing! @youhavewings - I love the minimalism here and the indirect, implied idea of the beach; I would love to do pieces like this! @edward.maesen - another beach one wishes to stroll along... :) @jayclar30 - wow! Great timing! 😯 @hangin - another great day at the beach shot! Great range of shots here!
Thank you, @daveks for all that you do! :)

Thre first pic is indeed a winner! The flow of the wave was captured from a great angle to be presented that way. Also nice timing that of placing individual persons in different parts. It is like indicating different persons at different waves in time. This is not something you see everyday. Congrats @txaty!
I also love @jayclar30's. That wave is huge!
