This is a composition of five images shot at various exposure merged into a single image.
On December 31st of 2011, our family moved from St. Cloud, MN to the Caribbean island of St. Martin (or St. Maarten depending on which side of the island you are on). One evening just before sunset, I went to an overlook I'd discovered rather by accident my first week on the island. The first time I saw it, I knew at once that I would need to come back here around sunset because the view was breathtaking and at dusk it faces into the setting sun. The west side of the island is dominated by a large freshwater lagoon which is used by boats of all sizes as a safe harbor and makes for some curious and picturesque landscapes. This is a view of the lagoon moments after the sun dipped below the horizon
