I took this picture the other day at the beach in Navarre while I was scouting a location for a model shoot. I liked the lines and the shadows and took this shot with the intent of making it a black and white in order to highlight those effects.

But when I got to playing with it in black and white I had trouble deciding how I wanted it to look. I tried a Low Key approach.

But it was too dark, so I tried a High Key approach.

And I liked it, but it was a bit too bright. I tried a softer effect with a tint and a white vignette.

But I wasn't all that wild about that one, so I tried an Infrared effect.

And I liked how that turned out, but now I don’t know which I like better, although I’m leaning toward the IR. Or maybe the High Key. Or I could go with something else entirely. All in all, I think that railing looks best with a model on it. Thanks to Kayla Winters.
