Another attempt at sea photography along the Riviera Mayan Coast.
Be sure to check out the Man & Nature category for some real mayan culture.

The lighting and water motion give this a lovely mystical feel. I think I prefer the water not quite so sharpened.

Love the processing here Anthony. It really emphasizes the light nicely. I'm not totally sold on the comp, as the water movement and lone wave all pull me tot the left. The brighter light on the horizon does help some to bring me back over though. This from the honeymoon?

The lighting and the wave motion give this image provide me with a sense of inner calmness.

Beautiful image!
I love the water, both in the BG and foreground, that wave, and the God rays in the BG.

Beautiful effect here Anthony. The waves at the bottom are just mesmerizing. A really likable image.

Wow, what a moment! Great vision, capture, and pp. The light is extraordinary. I think you captured the joy you were feeling on your honeymoon with this one!

Anthony...this is subtle and far more striking that I first thought. I love the patterns formed by the waves in the fg and the waves in the middle. You also have wonderful light in the sky...this works extremely well even without a splash of color in the sky...not needed here at all... well done

Anthony,

I love just about everything you've captured and presented here - the light, exposure, colors and even the glory of the rays up top all make for a wonderful seascape. My only wish is for some more room on either side - like a horizontal? The wave line and flow along the bottom are just beautiful and I'm just wanting to see more! Just feels a little cramped around the rock to me. But regardless, I still find this to be a very beautiful seascape.

Very, very surreal, Anthony. I love the water motion and the light on the water are both amazing.

Rarely have I seen the light playing such an important role in the dynamism of the image. Amazing image, Anthony!
