Nice, Bob. Care to share the details of your lighting, which is superb.

Thanks for the likes.

I'll share all the details. Canon 5DIV, Canon 100-400 vII at 100mm, f/4.5, 1/200 with one Canon Speedlite 600EX II plus a CTO gel off camera right, handheld by a friend. It took a little post work to even out the light on her.

Thank you for sharing this amazing image and the details. I had so hoped to travel to Cuba without doing so under restrictions or false pretenses to capture the beauty of the island. Maybe Washington will one day allow it.

I can't compete or compare with yours Bob, but I think it's a stunning image.

Thanks Bob, wasn't in a sunny location like Cuba! but it worked out well (rain wasn't planned) - 4 lights all worked out by taking selfies in the back garden
An A level student aproached me asking if I could take photographs of her costume project which was inspired by Mary Shelley and Frankenstein. So I scouted a near by location, arranged a date and got a MuA involved.
She ended up with an A Star as a grade for the work she did, which for an 18 year old was just increadible

It was one of my first times up above the inversion that happens anytime between Nov and January in Vancouver - the Lions Gate Bridge, just poking up over fog blanket that had the city enveloped. The white balance was set to auto - I love the net colour effect.

Was the flash unit to your left or right side?

One of my all time fav's from a Galveston sunrise; Of all the frames, this is the only one with the clouds echoing the shape of waves. I thought it was a interesting effect for an otherwise minimal image, and the best beach sunrise I've taken.
