    Was in Ballybunion, Co Kerry last friday evening. I only managed about one hour out while the rain stopped! Hopefully I'll get to head back when the weather is better!

    Absolutely class shot as usual....The angle you have taken it from and the reflection in the sand is fantastic...

    Is it HDR

    This is a fantaculastic shot.... Im interested to know what processing you used?

    The scenery itself is very striking , did you selectively saturate some parts and added contrast? Its a very cool looking pic , well done.

    I'll let you into a little secret........I don't know how to selectively saturate anything!! I'm not able to use Photoshop properly to be honest and only use it to put borders around the pics :eek:. I find it too complicated as I started out with Lightroom and thats a doddle compared to the complications of Photoshop.

    All I did was get drenched, increase saturation slightly, warmed it up a little with a custom white balance and added a bit of contrast and bingo!

    Superb Ballyman,..... l feel a beach joke coming on.


    3 blondes stranded on a deserted island,
    one of them finds a lamp on the beach.

    She picks it up and gives it a little rub and a genie pops out.
    He say's, I will grant you one wish each."

    #1 blonde is sick and tired of being on the beach, so she wishes to go back home. POOF!! She disappears.

    #2 is also tired of the beach, and wishes to go home. POOF!! She too disappears.

    The genie then turns to the last blonde and asks her, 'what is your wish . "Gosh," she says," I'm awfully lonely by myself. I wish my friends were still here ..."

    Well maybe it's more of a Blonde joke!!! :rolleyes:
