And what a spectacular beach it is. I was there in 2002. The color of the water is incredible.

I wanna go back soooo bad. We may get to this summer with the kids.
I've never seen a photo capture the true blue color of the ocean.

have you seen one taken by a camera outfitted with a polarizing filter on it's lens?

I took a shot in that exact same spot, at that very angle in March.

+1. Mine was two years ago. It is indeed an amazing sight, I couldn't enjoy it to the full extent as I had motion sickness at that point from the ferry ride over.

What filter(s) did you use? How much post processing? I really like it ...

Yes and I still do not think it does it justice. Thats just my opinion though.

I think we need to have a FOO party at Cancun.

ND filter and post production is just sharpen and a little a bit contrast adjustment.

Thanks!

Where was this taken?

Cool... haven't been this far down the forum list before and had no idea there was such a huge off topic forum! I've only ever come here searching for bike info and leaving.

I love photography so I'll toss in something I took this fall. Amazing how deep blue a polarizing filter makes a clear sky.
