beutiful image! just wonder why black and white, and how it looks in colour?

Mikael Jigmo 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

Seeker 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

Mikael Jigmo Seeker

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

Best regards Mikael

Seeker 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.

Mikael Jigmo Seeker

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

Best regards

I'm beggining to think that you are a dolphine Mikael! beautiful. mal

Mikael Jigmo Mal

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.

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

Mikael Jigmo Tom

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

Best regards Mikael

Tom Hoops When I see this photo I'm inclined to agree with you. Stunning.

Mikael Jigmo Tom

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.

Mikael Jigmo 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

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

Mikael Jigmo Lars

I know what you mean :-)

Mikael Jigmo Ulf

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.

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!

Mikael Jigmo Chris

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

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

Mikael Jigmo Erwan

Thanks you, and I agree with you.

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

Mikael Jigmo 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

Mikael Jigmo 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

Codrin Lupei :-) 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

Mikael Jigmo 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
