This shot was taken at one of Portugals most famous beaches: Praia da Adraga near Sintra. These characteristic stone formations were certainly a challenge to compose but luckily I had the right winds and clouds for creating a dynamic sky and enough surge for the misty-touched midground which contrasts the dark tonalities of the sand very well. I do prefer such ominous pictures over the classic sundown anytime, so I am very content with the outcome.
And major thanks to JanPusdrowski for lending me his lens hood for the trip. Without it most of my seascapes would've suffered under the weather circumstances even more, with rain drops coming from all sides most of the time.

Like the smooth transition from the sand over the thin water layer to the mist (...at least it looks like mist...).
The texture of the sand in the foreground is fantastic.
Great shot!

The rock off to the left looks like the remains of a sunken ship. Very mysterious, Graveyard for ships.

Haha, most indeededly.
Sadly there is only one ship on the portugese coast that ran aground and all my pictures of it suck due to bad weather.

Thank you. Actually I prefer the darker moods most of the time. At least I've come to really enjoy the twilights gloom.

Grosses Kino würd ich sagen. Super Gestaltung und die Belichtung passt super- die schön düstere Stimmung untermalt die zackige Szene. Top!

Yoa, kommt auf das Wetter an würde ich sagen, wir sind mehr als nur naß geworden, hab mir auch noch n' Zehnagel gekillt.
Vllt. wirklich nicht der einfachste Spot aber macht auf jeden Fall Spaß. Und danke für das Lob.

Great shot! I really like the contrast of dark stones against sun lit clouds.

Yep, we got lucky the sun wasn't over the cliffs behind the camera when the clouds hit the horizon.
