To black and white or not to black and white? Well I'm not a huge fan of black and white images because I feel that it's overused and done poorly most of the time. In this case, I made an exception.The light just happened to be right, about an hour before sunset to give the cliff rocks some character.

Another photographer near me suggested I use bracketing but I chose to go with my gut for exposure and you can see the results here. Was I wrong? Tell me what you think?
