Been recently working on this series of ocean and sky images, and this is one of them. I was drawn to the late evening monochromatic blue, and the clouds reflecting on the beach.

Harald: I really like this. Great depth and great reflections. Did you use a reverse NG?

I like this a lot - I wish the top clouds were not so grey in color (easy to fix)... but the reflection is awesome.

Looks perfect as is..

Thanks all for the comments, much appreciated.
Randy - I didn't use a reverse nd grad here. Used a 2 stop soft nd grad singh-ray.
The brightness within the clouds was quite varied, with dark and light areas.
I think that was due to other layers of clouds above the ones in the frame, throwing shadows on the lower clouds. Tricky lighting.

Pretty cool shot. I like the reflection in the sand.
Like the others have said, this is outstanding. The reflection in the sand is what puts it over the top.

There is a lot to look at here, Harald. You easily have three photos. I think that if I could get back a little and look at the whole thing in one view I'd really appreciate it more.

Harold, this one is even better. More going on, but they compliment each other quite well.
