Most 'beach'shots tend to accent the turquoise sea, yet you've managed to show us grays, browns, and shades of blue, white and pink! I'll never get to the Seychelles, but you are right about the rocks looking like those in Joshua Tree National Park. What a remarkable world, don't you think? You never cease to amaze me, Michael.

This is one of the most spectacular places on the planet. Anurag, I used a Singh Ray 2 stop Graduated Neutral density filter to hold back the sky. I don't think there is a color shift. Some grads do cause a magenta shift, but I haven't seen this from Singh Ray. Sometimes tropical blue water can be reflected in the white clouds, giving the clouds a bluish or greenish tint that is completely natural. I think that may be what you are seeing here. Planet Lover, these are granite boulders that have been sculpted by the sea. They are a distinctive feature of the Seychelles island chain. They reminded me a lot of the boulders of Joshua Tree National Park in California. Thanks you guys. This is one of the most spectacular places on the planet.
