This picture was taken at Waianapanapa beach near Hana on Maui, HI. One of the few black sand beaches in Hawaii.

I recently spent a week on Maui and our resort hotel had an awesome infinity pool. I was hoping not to have to do any HDR on this trip and stick to my grad ND filters but in order to get a good reflection for this picture I could not really use the filter set. I took this shot at the serenity pool of the Wailea Marriott on Maui, Hawaii. The first night that I arrived the skies were perfectly clear but thankfully the clouds rolled in the second day to make for much more interesting pictures.
