Description
The Visual ContrastsThe harsh rock and the soft green moss, the frozen ice sea and the stagnant warm water, the blurred skies and the sharpened memory of having been there, in a totally desert place. So many visual contrasts creating such a poignant emotional richness inside me, making me want to search further and further for places like this.

Praia da Cordoama
One of my favorite beaches, located in the the south western coast of Portugal. The sea was very agitated that day, and there was sea water spray everywhere, causing that blurred horizon line. Always keep your lens cleaning tissues close on this kind of water, as you will have to usem them every 5-10 minutes!

The sky or say "background" is disturbing but the foreground is just delicious. Re-corp it for yourself and I think you see what I mean

Why do you think it's disturbing, and why would I crop the sky of a landscape photo?

I'm a fan of this, fantastic capture! I'm also in love with the how the water spray has created that soft misty diffusion on the horizon, so dreamy..
Do you apply sharpening in your RAW conversion, or in Photoshop? Curios, since I really dig your post-processing in that regard.

I only apply slight sharpening in the raw conversion, to bring out the detail. The "real" sharpening is done in photoshop after editing.
