HDR Photography | Beach Paradise

This shot was taken on the beach in Mexico at sunset. I love taking photos that have something interesting in the foreground. I wanted to grab a shot of these breezy cabanas but I was struggling to find a good angle. From the corner of my eye, I noticed this leafy plant and decided to crouch down and add it to the shot. The exploding sunset contrasted beautifully with the vibrant green leaves and this afterthought plant ended up becoming the focus of the entire photo! That’s why I love photography, it’s these happy little accidents that always end up surprising you!
