"Sea of Dreams" Tulum, Mexico, January 2012.

I recently spent 11 days with my wife in the Riviera Maya of Mexico. We had a great time seeing all of the different sights in the area. This was one of the few sunsets we had while we were there, but it sure was a good one!

Nikon D7000, 10-24 Nikkor dx at 10mm, polarizer
2 sec at f/16, ISO 100, single exposure, processing in LR3 & CS5.

Thanks for taking a look and thank you for any comments or suggestions you have. Larger version is provided.

Scott, This really has some beautiful color. Great sky and I love that swirling water in the foreground rock. The foreground has some wonderful detail as well. Very pleasing to look at! :smile: Nice work.

Wonderful color and light. My family and I made it to Xcaret back in '97, but never down as far as Tulum. I have always regretted that, and do so even more now. :smile: Beautiful work.
