Somewhere in Costa Rica
by Todd Liotine
This photograph was taken in somewhere in Costa Rica while scouting for some new Seascape locations for my workshops. This image was processed from one raw file. In raw, with a little recovery there is no blown highlights. This scene was brief I just got set up and the sun was moving fast and was able to set up and shoot, the next few were completely blown out. I did bracket some shots after that but the color just wasn't as intense yellow as it is the sun just about to break through the marine layer. Compositionally I tried balance out the hill on the left with the rock on the right and the stream of sand with the cloud stream above. I realize the horizon is about in the center but my thought was that the image really isn't about the horizon and there was enough going on in the image. By the way just below center there is bright spot at the full size it's perfect sunstar in the reflecting water. Let me know you thoughts. Thanks for looking. Check the large file if you have a big monitor.

On my monitor the horizon is low on the left and needs to be raised to a perfect level to not be a distraction to those in the know, It was the first thing I noticed. Great pic, thanks for sharing.
