 Focal length 300mm

Difficult to get the exposure correct with the powerful sun behind. The sun is a little over exposed on the top and the sea is a little under exposed. Trying to adjust it in Photoshop added noise so that was limited. Also had limited time to get the correct exposure as the sun was too low after about 30 seconds. Then it didn't look as good as this one. So not bad I think, given the 30 second time limit.

Nice image - Like the colours - Could do with some foreground interest as it's a little flat looking.
