This is a wonderful illustration of how nature can be used to frame nature. This is so good. I voted for this entry and several others.

Location
Wharariki Beach, Golden Bay, New Zealand.Time
This was just after sunriseLighting
The sun was reasonably gentle, a small outlet in the back of the cave allowed more light in.Equipment
Nikon D800 17mm lens, ND filter 11 stop, f11Inspiration
I was wandering this remote beach for the first time without another person anywhere, and waited for the tide was just low enough to make it around the rocks and found this cave, with the beautiful Archway Islands out front and such a calm morning it was quite a magical experience.Editing
I processed this single image in Lightroom six with some light adjustments, and added vibrancy,In my camera bag
Sturdy old Gitzo tripod, Nikon D800 body wide 17-35 lens 70-200 lens, ND filters, remote cable.Feedback
I left on foot for this location at 4:30 am under starlight because if you really want the best light and location it doesn't always come by accident. Appreciating the beauty around you, and for me searching for a really perfect composition is important, always looking around for different lights. Not being afraid to push the technical and creative boundaries always seems to give pleasing results, basically thinking and experimenting combined with enjoying the experience.
