End of a rainy day on Corsica. It was really pouring and most of the time we sat in the nice coffee bars in calvi waiting for the rain to stop. The whole time we waited, I had this photo in mind. Just a little less rain an I would grab my umbrella to get this scene after sunset. I was even more lucky, around sunset it completely stopped raining so I didn't even need the umbrella. The water was very calm after sunset and the grey clouds turned on a light blueish hue, which I emphasized a bit in Photoshop. You just have to love the blue hour when shooting cities. Be it a clear sky, a cloudy sky or even raining. Doesn't matter, you can always get a nice shot.

Used a lee 0.6 hard GND here to balance the exposure + a Polarizer to see a bit of the bottom. The foreground rocks were needed as sharp contrast to the blurry rocks below the surface of the water and also for the viewer to get into the scene. I also had a tele shot in mind but then it started to rain again and I didn't want to change lenses.
