Good morning Pulu Maria

Good morning Pulu Maria

On the beach at sunrise on West Island, over looking Pulu Maria, Cocos Islands.
Arriving at the beach with the promise of another stunning day, my husband turned off the car key, reclined the seat and went back to sleep!

    Thanks heaps Damien and Georgi :) Kind words!
    Georgi, I shot this with a neutral density graduated filter to hold back some light in the sky, and in photoshop I have saturated a little and adjusted levels.

    Just gorgeous. Like everything in the world shouting halelujah at once. Artists see something beautiful and defy vertigo and insanity and the impulse to run by racing toward it, screaming: Hit me! Fill me up! More! More! More! til you pass out. I thank you for the stalwart heart that kept you looking, and bringing it all back home. It’s almost like standing there in person for this viewer. Wonderful photograph.

    What a fantastic skyline. The clouds are perfectly patterned and lit nicely by the low sun. That glimpse of golden sky is streaked nicely along the horizon whilst the island with trees makes a great viewpoint. The reflections in the water have come out very nicely.
