Seaside monochromes (well, duotones actually)

A few random seaside duotones. I like number 3 as it was this shot that made me realise that my photography mojo was back. No idea where my mojo had gone, but the bike helped it back.

The last one seems a little dark, was that an effect you were going for?

The first one seems a little flat to me. The second one is really nice and simple, I like the composition.

There all good though, I'm just being critical

Yeah, I wanted the last one quite dark, with just the bike lighter.

Cheers. It's still evolving, but it's still not quite where I want it yet. With these seascapes im still wanting white milky water, and with the rest of my B&W work, id like it to have more of a documentary feel to it than it does at present. Im getting there though.
