ive got to agree with background,however know how bright these beaches get,your squinting all the time,so its a really hard exposure.

A great shot. One slight niggle though is that I wish the background (i.e. the sky and greenery) was a bit brighter.

Thanks all - know what you mean about brighter - trouble is that requires sun and as you see it's dark there - positively stormy - odd I may be but it attracted me Smile lol

Minimalist and very effective, though I find the dark land mass a bit overpowering.
