A one-shot HDR image processed in Photomatix and then post work done in Photoshop.
This was the “best” shot of the day, and only after a lot of Photoshop work. The light was all wrong – too harsh and too high, but I didn’t have the opportunity to wait five or six hours till it was right; at which point the tide would be wrong!
Ahh, the joy of seascapes.
