I love all the highlighted bits! Great effect...dreamy and almost surreal. Like dreaming of that day by the ocean!

@Fuji: Thanks Fuji. It was windy that day, the sun was to be going down soon and the air was still fairly warm. The angle of the sun made this seem somewhat surreal before I even put the camera up to my face :)
What is this? Very surreal, I like it! Care to share any details on treatment?

@Alessandro: Grazie Alessandro! Well..it's basically 2 people walking along the breakwater. It was an intense sunny time, but the sun was also going down so the angle was 'just so'. All I did was to increase the contrast to make the water more intense, add a bit of blur and dodge the waves to make them more obvious. I cropped the top so as to make it seem like like a film segment. The rest is all Mother Nature and being at the right place at the right time. :)
what a dream!! simply magnificent! bravo, bravo! and if only ALL dreams were as wonderful as this -- i would stow away all my belongs and sleep for eternity! wonderful results!
This is something out of the ordinary. Which thoughts this image sparked? It's like a dream, like a memory, things that I can remember but not sharp or detailed, more like shadows.
Very interesting color and composition. The processing and the black tones are overwhelming though which I find counter productive. Very nice picture though!
