Description

Shot in RAW. I massaged this image in PS to bring up the golden glow of morning.
On this black sand beach my friend was doing what she felt. While I was praying, please let this be in focus.

EXCELLENT shot and mood to this stunning portrait. Your lighting is beautiful and the contrast of color and and B&W background adds strong appeal to this seemingly timeless image. #1262555

I know exactly what you mean when you say "please let this be in focus!" I have the same camera and although it has the capabilities to shoot fantastic shots, it will disappoint you so many times by not focusing right on. By the way...great shot!
