This was Difficult!

This shot is at Botany Bay in Edisto SC. Most shots of this beach are at sunrise or sunset. The lighting that day was harsh and any photo I tool in the sun's direction were very dark. Photoshop brought up the depth of the picture. Some of the branches left the shot, so I trimmed them. The clouds and partial fog were uninviting so I replaced the sky with a thunderstorm. That added drama. Then I noticed the man running on the beach. I asked myself, 'why is he running'? A lightening strike made the most sense. So I used a lightening brush to add another level to this confusing shot.
