Monomad - Tuesday - Starfish In The Surf

in #monomad7 years ago

I just found this contest by brumest

I'm too late for a Monday post, but here is my post for Tuesday. It's a starfish in the surf at Jacksonville Beach Florida. I live just minutes from the beach at either Jacksonville Beach or Ponte Vedra Beach. I am so spoiled! I have miles and miles of sandy beach right on my doorstep!

My image is available as a stock shot in color at Getty Images and various art sites on the web.

I used Adobe Photoshop® CC 2017 and Nik Silver Efex Pro to get the effect I was after!

The image was photographed with my Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens.

Camera settings: 1/80 sec; f/8; ISO 500

beautiful pic

Well, thank you!

The starfish definitely is the "star" of your awesome photo! Perfect entry for the b&w contest! @dmcamera Upvoted!

Well, thanks! I just found it and it gave me a focus! I love converting my work to black and white. It reminds me of the darkroom days!

Amazing click and good job

Thanks for that and for stopping by! :-)

another beautiful post love your work

Thanks! Remember me when you are a whale!

I think you will be one well before me :)

I doubt it! I see someone who is following nobody, has 55 followers and only 33 posts, but is getting over $100 per mediocre post in Color challenge! How the heck is that possible? I reported it in case it's some kind of scam. Looks a bit fishy to me!

That is weird indeed I try not to look at others numbers or seldom at mine just do what I choose to do so hence will most likely always be a minnow at best

I guess it's not about what you know on here, but about who you know. Lol!

Yes I think so
Some clearly have friends very big on here I have seen cases where one upvote was worth around $150

I don't bother that much, but if I'm thinking of following someone, I click on their name to see what kind of stuff they post. I don't want to follow spammers or someone posting a lot of crap I am not interested in, so it just caught my eye because it is right across th top! I probably would not have noticed much except for the **not following anyone." It stood out.

Ohh yes I think I know the one I do the same as you and the not following anyone was something that caught my eye and I just closed it didn't see the money they were making per post

That's a lovely shot, Diane... I can smell the salt from this photo! :)

Haha! Thanks!
