beutiful image! just wonder why black and white, and how it looks in colour?
Thanks you.
I wonted to try something else of the photos from the Sardine Run Expedition, I had a hard tinme to select which one to submit the colour version or the b&w. Not sure how to do it, but I think I should be able to link to the colour version, but not sure if I can upload it on OE somewhere hmmm... otherwise I will upload it on my website.

Best regards Mikael
I had a look at your other photos both on onexposure and your website and think that colour image may be better. Please put it on your website. Thanks
Seeker

My website is updated with the photo, thanks for your involment in my picture.

Best regards Mikael
Hm.. Now i can see why you hesitated. Both BW and colour are very good. Perhaps a bit more contrast in colour image would make it stronger. In any case I like them both.
Seeker


Thanks, well I will look at them again on another screen and see which one will be best to modify.

Best regards

Mikael
Wonderful image.
Thank you

So, so beautiful and magical Mikael, love it!
Dolphins comes pretty high on my favorite list, and to see such an image of art like this, is pure joy to me, thank you so much!

All the best Anne Lene

Well I am not sure if I am or not:-), what I know is that I really love the ocean and that we need to take care of it, it is our life.
I am glad you like it, and thanks to additing it to your favourites.

All the best Mikael
Superb moment again ... and excellent choise for b/w dramatic edition ;)
Dare

Thank you, glad you liked it.

Stunning .
Would love to do some underwater stuff but I don't think I have the patience for it.
Tom

You should, it is just amazing, and it well worth the waiting :-)

Best regards Mikael
When I see this photo I'm inclined to agree with you. Stunning.
Tom

Thanks, and yes it is worth waiting for. Soo hope to see you under the water :-)

Best regards Mikael
beautiful. I love it.
Angela

Thanks, I am glad you liked it.

Best regards Mikael
Yeah! As mentioned by others, maybe we should publish more UW in black&white? This one worked well (would probably do in colors as well).
The composition is excellent, with the circle of sardines around the dolphins. And I like the cut on top too.
Lars

Thanks for your nice words, I really appreciate it.
I agree we should try to get some more B&W UW published on OE, perhaps you should try the Threser Shark one in B&W?

Best regards Mikael
Mikael, Could be an idea to run some of my sharks in B&W, yes I will. My problem is time..
Lars

I know what you mean :-)

Best regards Mikael
Almost more beautiful in b/w. Very nice, Mikael!

Thanks a lot for your nice words, it looks great in colour also, but wonted to try a B&W here on OE and it worked out well. Will try some more from the Sardine Run before I put it on side.

Best regards Mikael
That's gorgeous in BW... Magic moment indeed...
Laurence

Thank you.

Best regards Mikael
This is such an inspiring picture. Black and white was a great choice, too. There are so many beautiful underwater pictures, but the blue ocean water makes even the best color pics feel a little more ordianary. I love the oval, encircling quality formed by the fish . The symbiosis between the creatures is playful and alive! At first glance, it felt as if I was viewing a symbol. Like a peace sign. Perhaps a symbol that says, "Hey Humans. Relax." Anyway, great work. Thanks for showing!
Chris

Thanks for your nice words, I really appreciate it.
And yes perhaps that is what they are telling us.

Best regards Mikael
Terrific capture. Beautiful light

very beautiful
Jure

Thank you

Best regards Mikael
It is a great idea to show this kind of photo in BW. It adds an eerie feeling, a dreamlike feeling to the photo.
Erwan

Thanks you, and I agree with you.

Best regards Mikael
wow! how beautiful. and yes unusual to see in bnw but hey it really works well.
Gerard

Thanks for your nice words, I really appreciate it. B&W underwater photos can give a different impact then a colour version, so I will try some others in B&W.

Best regards Mikael
Hey Mikael, b&w underwater :-)...looks great! A beautiful image, love it!
all the best
Codrin
Hi Codrin

Well I needed to try some thing new on OE and hope the visitors will like it (it actually looks really good in colour also), but I am sure this can be improved more with your skills of B&W, any direct thoughts how to improve it?

Best regards Mikael
:-) Mikael, I actually hate the pp work, ussually I've done with an image in minutes, you know...blur, grain, vignette, contrast adjustments and that's it! I really don't know if blur or grain will help in your images :-), probably not! Just keep them comin'! Excellent work, congrats!
all the best
Codrin
Codrin

Ok I am not sure either if it works, but will play around with some.
I probably need to work on some other pictures then the once I have from Sardine Run (afraid that people get tiered and wont approve them anymore at OE)

All the best Mikael
