Carmel Beach - The sun was low on the horizon and a boy was playing in the surf. I thought I'd try a silhouette shot under difficult lighting., Nikon D100, Sigma 28-70mm @ 28mm, 1/2000 f22.

I can't make up my mind on this one. Here's what I like: The reflection of the boy is nice, I like the dark tones and the highlights reflecting in the water. The texture of the waves is nice too.
As to the negatives: I see a horizontal pattern created by the waves and the horizon. I would rather see diagonal lines which would give me more of a sense of depth. Also the darkness of the photo is kind of surreal. What does it look like in color? Maybe giving the photo an orange tint would make to look more pleasing.
I was trying for a surreal "look". Thanks for validating that for me :).
Since the camera was aimed almost directly at the light, the resulting shot was very monochromatic. I decided to take it all the way and convert it to B&W since there was not much color to speak of anyway.
Interesting comment about diagonal wave lines. I'll have to take my camera out to the beach to do some experimentation. The spontaneous situation with the boy in just the right position precluded me from taking too much time.
