Majestic Beauty II

I was sitting at a park bench by the beach checking out the pictures I had just taken, getting ready to head back home in my car. Suddenly the sun fell behind the clouds and started piercing through the openings with stunning illuminations. Quickly, I whipped out my camera and started shooting. Though stunning, the images were difficult to capture because the glare and reflections on the water were blinding, and I was shooting into the sun. I did play with the settings in Lightroom 5 to try to tame the glare and give the picture a golden monochrome look. But really, the tribute belongs to nature herself for creating such a beautiful sunset!
