I am an in-water fine art photographer and I make images of the ocean and waves. I tread water, I shoot, and then I dive under the incoming waves. This particular shot was taken between Coast Royale Beach and West Street Beach in Laguna Beach, CA. The waves weren't great this night but the sunset was epic...so when the tide came up I went further out and just treaded water in hopes of getting a water-flare to flash in front of the setting sun. It was a one in a million shot and when I saw it after the shoot I was beyond psyched that I got it. No Photoshop on this image...just Lightroom.
