This is the view of Hanauma Bay from the rim of the volcanic crater. The far side of the crater collapsed in the distant past, forming the bay when ocean water rushed in to fill the void. To day it is an aquatic preserve as well as a popular beach.

I like the scene very much. The asymmetrical composition of the cove is well done. There appear to be some halos out there in the ocean beyond the cove opening. Not sure about the foreground dead trees on the right. Overall, some areas are just slightly underexposed. This is a strong 7.
some criticism ...
dark halos around the tree branches
seems an nd filter was used causing some noticeable vignetting
wish there was mode detail in the darks
