[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The same day as the last post, again at Garenin in Carloway. The waves rushed into the beach, covering the rocks and stalks of seaweed.

I liked this shot because of the sunlight reflecting off of the spray. It was however, difficult to avoid blowing the highlights. This conversion involved seriously reducing the exposure to show the detail in the water and darken the background. Also luminosity curves to maximise detail.

Hi David,
I do like the way that you have caught the spray from the waves as they are rolling in.
Nice detail
