Natural landscapes: the warm and rocky beach
PACIFIC OCEAN COASTLINE, EL BALSAMAR RESORT, EL SALVADOR
This was a difficult photo to make presentable. The harsh, overhead sun made for very contrasty, shadowy conditions that required two intense rounds of Photoshop processing to mitigate.
But I think the work was worth it, especially as this sweet scene presents a summery contrast to the continuing cold, wintry conditions where I live in western Canada. Here’s another sublime scene from the same El Salvador beach: https://wp.me/p2ccTX-1q4.

Nice edits!
When I first looked at this photo I thought to myself, oh Frank never does warm places. ha. Enjoyed this bit of El Salvador beach today, thanks Frank.
I love all of the details that you captured on the mossy, rocky formation. I know it was frustrating but the edits turned out well!
