    Glad you posted a beach scene – seems like ages since your last one….lol Gorgeous pink tones in this one, Mel. I love the perspective aswell – slightly higher than some of your usual scenes and of course you’ve captured the water movement perfectly.

  • Halcyon007

    Halcyon007, 9 months ago

    Spot on exposure across the whole shot (as usual – you constantly show us all up!). The light on the middle rock is just to die for. Not only is that gorgeously textuted rock covered in the silkiest of waters it is picking up that lowest pink light in such dramatic fashion.

    The rest of the light skips gently over the water which must have been moving a bit to be this silky at 2.5 secs.

    Great skyline too tops the shot off nicely

  • Kofoed

    Kofoed, 9 months ago

    I’m so glad you need these fixes from time to time. Then we can enjoy scenes like this. Truly amazing light. The reflections on the middle rock are exquisite, so is the misty water and the sky. In fact the whole photo is.
