Long Branch is one of the nice beaches in NJ, and a favorite of mine. Massive improvements to both the beach and the surroundings have taken place since Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc. While summer is when everyone goes, I really like visiting in Winter. The attached SOOC image is flat and underexposed and could really benefit from your editing expertise and some TLC to bring out its potential. Hope you have fun with this one.
Feel free to download this image to your computer. Then you can edit it any way that you think is an improvement. Composites, black and white conversions, textures, sky swaps, inverted images, solarization, or whatever else you think will improve the photo are acceptable techniques for your edit. When you are finished, post your edit in this thread. Edits will be accepted until 9pm Eastern time on Thursday. No edits will be accepted after that time because we will begin voting then. Thank you for your efforts and your participation.
Long Branch Beach: my view
Here's my takes on this week's challenge
@yssirk123, while working on this I noticed some dead pixels. I outlined where they are in the attached. No idea if this is a hardware or processing issue.

Hi George, and thanks for posting. I think what you're seeing is dirt on the sensor. At some point I'll clean the sensor.
BTW, you have great eyes.
