That Old Chestnut

Reluctantly headed down to the beach after my chiro appointment this evening, which was also after sunset. Little bit chilly there. We had a short, but violent thunderstorm in the wee hours of this morning, so perhaps the weather is making a change.

This came out a little shaky, as handheld images can do when the light is slowly dying, but really, I stood in the water to take this shot- how do you use a tripod in the ocean? Any hints or suggestions?

I really need to learn about post-processing, because I think I could have had fun with this one.
