I remember last time there was a BAD (Big Ass Discussion) about shots of homeless 1, being easy and 2, being exploitative. Just my 2 cents. Coming from the photo-journalistic side part of what we do is chronicle history. We are historiographers. (Some of us at least.) Would someone tell Dorothea Lange she shouldn't have exploited Okies (and I don't use the term disparagingly). If I can put an effective image inyour face... more »

Here is the RAW and my current version.

About 8 hours to carefully clean the beach after all other processing.

I will be interested to see how everyone deals with all the crap on the beach. There was a lot more; I got tired of removing the stuff. What you can't see is that beach drops off abruptly and that is where I threw the junk. It is probably 20 - 30' or more from the pebbles to the water you can see. All the waves/surf etc are below the beach line.

I am cold looking at it; and it is - for me, perhaps not for others - technically correct. Yeah, you might bring out a bit of detail under the stairs (no matter how dark the eye would have seen some detail); however, it definitely belongs in TLB.
