This island off the coast of Kualoa Beach Park, Oahu, Hawaii is more commonly known as Chinaman's Hat because of its conical shape looking like a hat that Chinese men wore in the 1800s to early 1900s.

The island has a legend that Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, had a sister, Hi'iaka, who killed a giant lizard in the sea. According to this legend, Chinaman's Hat is the remnant of that lizards back.

Another beautiful composition LE. I like the curvature of the shoreline, the trees and the mountains in the background. It has all the ingredients.
Happy Easter

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Well, even the little bird is in wonderful detail on this photo! The colors are vibrant, the composition is terrific. So much beauty and so well captured, another favorite.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Your pano treatment really works well for the content--beach, lawn, palms, surf, and islands--and I particularly like how the roots of those three palms close to the shore have created a kind of island of their own. I was wondering how long they can stand up like that so I searched for a schematic of their root system... and then I found this photo. No worries for some time to come.
