"Smooth Sunset"
I took this in Jersey, CI, at St. Ouen’s Bay (affectionately known as Five mile beach). The sunset was gorgeous, and I used a long exposure to get the glassy effect on the sea. St. Ouen’s is one of the best bays to photograph in Jersey. The sound of the gentle tide lapping on the shore was a very lulling sound and extremely mesmerizing.
