Sunrise St Martin, a photo from Saint-Martin, Other

Photographer's Note

This shot was taken at sunrise on Orient Beach. The sun was peaking through the clouds and everything was golden.
Saint Martin (Dutch: Sint Maarten; French: Saint-Martin) is a tropical island in the northeast Caribbean, approximately 240 km (150 miles) east of Puerto Rico. The 87 km² island is divided roughly in half between France and the Netherlands; it is the smallest inhabited sea island divided between two nations.
* The southern Dutch half comprises the Eilandgebied Sint Maarten (Island area of Saint Martin) and is part of the Netherlands Antilles.
* The northern French half comprises the Collectivité de Saint-Martin (Collectivity of Saint Martin) and is a dependency of France.
Collectively, the two territories are known as "St.-Martin/St. Maarten". Sometimes SXM, the IATA identifier for Princess Juliana International Airport (the island's main airport), is used to refer to the island. (wikipedia)

Hello Asa!
I liked them tones oranges the photo, they had been very nice, and the boats too! This is a place that still I want to know, I see videos in internet of airplanes approaching to the airport and I liked it! You also captured images of the airplanes? Congratulations and hugs!

Hi Asa,
This is the relaxing view that I'd expect in this tropical island, despite the "airport beach" on the other part of the island.

Asa, beatiful scene and colors. The golden light are really pretty. I like the background boat, I suggest to you a crop removing everything down it.

Hugs

Hello Asa

Fantastic sunrise shot. It is worth to get up early to see such a view. Wonderful gold colors of the sky and water. Silhouettes of boats add a lot to composition. It's a pity that the size of your post is that small.

Best wishes, Wojtek

Nothing much to say here Asa. Beautiful scenary and the orange tones all over creates a calm mood. A bit darkening I think would be right to controll the shining around the sun and to create some more silhouet effect. A great shot anyways. I'll try and post you a workshop just as a suggestion. Greetings Jens :-) .....Later..... No, to hard to control, and the dark right part gets all to dark - so much for that workshop, Jens :-)))
