Umbrella, Pier, Winter Sky, & a Swim.

Bit of a pretend HDR from three versions of the same image.
Handheld & not a masterpiece maybe a 6 or 7 out of 10 ?.

In the original the sky & pier were OK but the foreground was too dark.
Principally it was the lady holding the coloured umbrella that inspired me in the first place.
After a little messing about I got the balance better.
Still love that sky, can't beat winter at the coast for a little cloud drama.

Speaking of drama, she was stood there as a marker to her friend who was swimming in the sea.
I'm from the North & I'm used to real cold weather not this pretend Southern stuff, however it actually was really cold when I took this.
Goodness only knows how cold it was in the water.

Feel free to tell me what you think, of the image that is, not swimming in the sea in December.
