Naglasio sam motiv.
Dodao sam backlight, svetlo, ostrinu i ram.

Greeting.
I emphasized the motive.
I added backlight, light, sharpness and frame.

It was my great pleasure and honor to be accompanied by Noel Byrne, visiting from Dublin! He was a fine gentleman, a serious student of our art, and great company for our outing!

Here is the original frame with minimal post-processing, compressed for TrekEarth, but intended to show the cropping decisions I made -- and for which you all have been so kind as to share your opinions!

I got rid of the sky and horizon, just to focus on the diagonals. I also cropped a small area to the left, to get the surfer a bit closer to the side.

turn into black and white
Apply come contrast

My original goal for this evening was to put the setting crescent moon in the background -- but coastal clouds never allowed a clean shot of the moon! Combine that with the ambient light from the nearby street-lamp, and I had to change my intentions. The lesson from this night was "Always have a back-up plan!"

A full view of Guillermo Gómez Macias's "The Old Man and the Sea?" As you can see, he is a rather silly old man!

Just saw a WS, I prefer to crop a bit more, avoiding almost all the "white" parts
Hope you like it

When shooting long exposures of subjects that feature point sources of light, you should use the self-timer to trigger the shutter AFTER your finger has left the shutter button. If you don't, this is what you will get! Note how every light on the jetty traces the camera's movement -- and that movement belies the photographer's finger pressing the shutter button!
