Remember this one? I always feel like taking pictures with the sea as a background when I'm on the beach.
I got my Tokina 12-24mm f4 DX a few weeks back, so it was THE moment to turn around and take some pictures from the other side of the beach.
To stress the long jetty, I wanted the diagonal line, without exaggerating of course. Therefore, I tilted the horizon a bit and took advantage of the clouds being visible between the beach and the jetty to stress the jetty's length.
The last thing that puzzled me, was the bright sky and it's reflection in the water on the beach. F22, 1/80sec and 200ISO seemed a good compromise. Finally Lightroom helped me in enhancing the contrast and applying some vignetting.
Oops... the last thing was not the last thing... :) There was the straightening in PS of the lines at the edges too.
Update: Denis was asking why I applied some vignetting (see comments). I'm posting the same picture without vignetting, so you can see the difference. I thought by focussing on the center (because of the vignetting), the jetty would look even longer. Is my feeling right? Wrong?
