I think your version is an improvement over Colman's. It retains the drama of the original. I often go for rich blacks myself in these kind of pictures.

I wouldn't have sharpened though - or at least not on the stones on the beach.

However it also depends on hpw your monitor is set up! I think if we could compare, we'd find quite big differences because most people use monitor settings out of the box. Unwise for pro work.

the photo is great, i love it more, the more i see it. why don't you do a version so i can see what you mean?

the only thing that was stopping it come through for me was a washy diffused greyness, which had a banalising effect, imo.

I tend to prefer more realistic renderings of natural scenes. I find that sort of drama over-done.

It goes with the I-hate-over-saturated-slide-film filter.
