Fantastic!
Wow! Stunning set up and mood. Love the rays breaking through the clouds. Just brilliant!
Awesome light and sun beams!
great layers to that sky and those rays are coming from everywhere.
the touch of red and the crescent shape are perfect.
Beautiful and stunning colors with the kite surfer barely visible. I probably wouldn’t have seen it but the red kite really stands out well against the gold.
