The story behind this image

The coastline of St Martin in the Carribean is a great mixture of rock, sand and coral, with my favourite being the coral with its vivid colours, great texture and weird shapes.

I particularly like this image. The composition and colours compliment each other well, and there is something interesting to look at in all parts of the frame with the eye being led through the composition by the diagonal streak of foam and breaking waves.

Another beautiful day in the sun. I processed this image during a cold and wet January evening, and seeing it again reminded me what it felt like to be warm and outside at the same time!
