Shot in RAW. I massaged this image in PS to bring up the golden glow of morning.
On this black sand beach my friend was doing what she felt. While I was praying, please let this be in focus.

I know exactly what you mean when you say "please let this be in focus!" I have the same camera and although it has the capabilities to shoot fantastic shots, it will disappoint you so many times by not focusing right on. By the way...great shot!Jane Summa April 17, 2005
