Sunset walk, Surfer's Paradise beach, Queensland, Australia

Sunset walk, Surfer's Paradise beach, Queensland, Australia by Lisa Bettany {Mostly Lisa}.
35mm, f/7.1, 1/125, ISO 200

Father & daughter taking a sunset stroll on the beach.

I crouched down as low and as close to the shoreline as possible. I waited for the waves to pull in so I could grab their reflection in the sand.

Moments after I took this shot I got drenched by a huge wave. It was worth it.

I think you caught the light at the perfect moment. The background, especially the buildings looks like a Ralph McQuarrie concept painting.
