glows brightly as a sun in the darkness of the sanctuary

A blue-velvet dream captured on an island near the Australian

east-coast in early December. Thanks!

It's too saturated with blue, makes it appear fake. I'd personally rather see some contrasting greens in the background.

Hi, this saturation is what you get with deep blue sky. There is no blue cast, the blue is the reflection of the sky in the water on the sand. the clouds are white as is the sand. simply put the brightness of your screen to maximum for a moment and look again and you'll see it's not saturated. But I agree with you that the blue is too "hard", a fact which I attribute to the Velvia 50 slidefilm. Thanks for your critique.
