 Thanks for all the comments & votes I really didn't expect this one to be on the front page but you can never tell.

WB set to Tungsten in camera.

PS: Cloned out some distant people on the beach
Luminar & Nik to add some punch and bring out detail in the buildings and add small vignette

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Beautiful capture and mood in this photograph! It speaks of the early morning blues where a cool breeze washes ashore. The ocean waves roll in as two people walk together on an empty beach sharing the moment of tranquility as they stroll towards the sleeping city.
