I was in Maldives trying out some semi immersed shots (above and below the water level). I was using the sun against my back for most of the it. But I realised I could use the beach hut and the sun in the same direction and overexpose the scene rendering the area above water colourless/overexposed. At the same time I could have the colour of the water against the underwater reefs. The trickling water from the waterproof housing reduced the sharpness of the top area which gave a nice soft feel to the hut. I liked the faint silhouettes of the two people in the top right part of the frame. I know that we generally tend to not post landscapes with human elements here in this forum, but my objective was to show an untouched colourful world and a human modified colourless one in a single frame.
