[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After taking some photos of sunrise, I found this small pool. The sun light lit up everything, including the sea, coral reefs, and the pool where the clouds were reflected on. Especially I like the color contract between the blue of the reflection and the yellow of the coral reef around the pool.

It's hard to control the light condition. You can see an over-exposure area on the sea water at the top left corner. The ND Grad filter even could help it. Fortunately the waves filled this highlight area a little bit.

The sun ray peeped through the clouds is a bonus for this photo.

Hey Jim,
Amazing shot!!! I like photos that can convey a certain dramatic atmosphere ... and your shot definitely does that. I particularly like the reflection of the sky in the pool and the contrasting colors. Excellent details & POV. Well done!!! TFS!!!
Greetings,
Natasha

ciao Jim! Good shot! The rocks as a guideline to the raining clouds of the background and the blue waves. The pool is a great detail, so sharpened, with those beautiful reflections and colors.
I don't mind the over exposure at all! I find the gives the dramatic felling that Natasha appreciated just before me!
best regards
Laura
