 The tidal pool looked as if it wanted to hold the sun captive for a few more minutes to enjoy it's beauty. I don't expect it to score more than in the middle to high 5's but the day was so wonderful I want it in my portfolio. I had a ND filter on but I can't remember the settings and as I am putting this in at the last moment I don't have time to look it up but will add the info if anyone shows interest. There is very little PS done to this shot, the ND gave the illusion that the sun was shining like the blade of a sword down to the tidal pool. The most work was a bit of dodging to the waves and a bit of saturation to the skyline, bringing out the golden tones.
