Description

As you can tell from those seascape shots i posted lately, I seriously enjoy lots of ACTIOooN in the foreground :P the more dramatic the better it gets for me! Also, with rays of light like this, i definitely can't let go of hdr technique in this case but then again.. what's new eh? ;) i would say this image is 29.9999% hdr-ed since the sky has been additionally processed for more details. Anyway its been a while.. trust all are well & have a fabulous Thursday!!! so sorry i'm still pretty slack in flickr :S
