The Last Rite

This is my third time processing this image, so I am very curious for your thoughts!

‎"The Last Rite"

A colorful sunrise of pink and green contrasts with the blue sky, as the water crashes against rocks at Shi Shi Beach.

5D Mark II, Nikkor 14-24mm/2.8G, f/20, ISO 50, multiple exposures for the dynamic range (blue sky especially). Had a tough time processing this with enough contrast and color while staying true to the scene, so I would appreciate any comments!

I had my back turned to the shore and cliffs/mountains of Shi Shi beach while taking this photograph. A seemingly colorless morning turned quickly following a light rainfall. Rainclouds broke behind the cliffs, briefly revealing a short but complete rainbow. Soon after, also behind the cliffs, the sun pierced the horizon. It shined a beautiful cast of pink against the clouds in the sky, color that was reflected on the shore. With the shining light, the previously dull sea showed itself to be an evergreen. The scene was nothing short of a dream.

This photo looks good to me. I'm seeing a slight red/magenta cast which I would like to reduce, if it was my photo.

I like the sense of depth to this.

Awesome comp. There's a sense of motion to the water that almost makes me seasick if I stare at it too long. Agree with Brenton on the color cast.
