While visiting Florida back in 2011, I brought my Nikon D40 to the beach for the first time. I grabbed this shot while walking towards the shore on beach. I framed what I thought to be some of the most colorful resorts and hotels by the beach there. What I loved most about the photo is how the buildings have this beautiful watercolor look to them. In Lightroom I kept that essence and applied warm tones to the image and added some vibrance to hotels. My goal was to have the image take the viewer into the moment it was taken to experience both a hot summer day in Miami and also experience the beauty of South Beach.
