Nice shot. Is the sand as white as it appears in the shot?

Thanks, Jeff.

When it has good light on it as in the picture it is every bit that white. Of course I did increase the highlights a bit to give certain areas some 'pop.' Later in the day when it's brighter it's even whiter. Download the picture and check it on your histogram. Not bragging, but you'll see that it's almost perfectly exposed.

Almost looks like a winter scene. Nice shot.

Thanks. And that's with a warm, yellowish light on it. You should see it mid day, it really looks like snow then. It can be blinding it's so bright.

Very nice shot! On the eastern coast of FL our sand was much coarser.

Thanks, Jeff. The sand there is almost like a powder, the crystals are so small. Awesome to walk barefoot on.
