Wish I was Back

I did take several shots today but I wasn't overly impressed with any (see my "extras" album) so I'm showing you this instead. It's from our trip to Hawaii and was taken January 1st when we drove around the island. I finally got to editing it today. This was the beach that was SUPER windy and caused my lens to cover in salt/sand spray almost instantly! It created an interesting feel to the image.

I know I often say this but... it really IS better large!!
Awesome perspective!

The misty feel really gives it that something extra ... hope the lens came through OK!

Great angle on the water line, and the colour of the water is amazing. Makes me want to leave this snow.
January 10th, 2013  
Great pov!

@monika64 I sharpened the coconut a bit and also added a bit of definition to it and the sand. I straightened the horizon and added a little bit of a a vignette. The water really was that colour. I think the salt/sand covered lens created most of the effect.

January 10th, 2013  
I know what you mean about the salt spray covering things! I wear glasses and it can be a nuisance. I did give a softness to the photo.

Love it. You'll be seeing shot from my New Zealand trip for the rest of the month. That's why I go to different places to photograph the differences. Well done.

January 11th, 2013  
I love this! Just beautiful. You're right- must view large.
January 11th, 2013  
Love the texture of the sand and the object on the beach. I looked at it large and it almost feel like I can touch it.
January 11th, 2013  
@bardejov It was half of a coconut husk.
January 11th, 2013  
Very pretty. I wish I were there myself.
January 11th, 2013  
Beautiful shot. I love the texture of the coconut husk.
January 11th, 2013  
It really looks heavenly... I can pretend there was no wind at all and just enjoy the beach and colours!
January 11th, 2013  
It is a beautiful shot and yes it is better large.
January 11th, 2013  
Dominant foreground elements like this really work in beach shots I find and this is no exception. You are right, its looks even better viewed large.
January 12th, 2013  
Having a swoon moment here! So beautiful. Love the softness in the image. The colors are fab, too. Heck, it all is!
January 12th, 2013
