Another day in paradise... by Keiran Lusk
A slightly more processed image of the amazingly atmospheric and stormy sunset at Burleigh this afternoon. I have deliberately over-processed this image to accentuate the emerald green of the highrise buildings and the ocean, against the brilliant sunset light, glowing strongly through the storm clouds and rain. The tired but happy surfer timed his exit from the water perfectly too. This image almost feels like a caricature of the view from Burleigh Heads, and I like that somehow.

Very interesting effect from processing creating an entirely different image from the other one. No comparison, both great.
Wow, thank-you Enivea for your wonderful words. I was unsure about posting this one, but I am pleased that I did :-)
