Beautiful. You got that pink there in the sky though it doesn't look like dawn or dusk. Light looks lovely over the water. Don't you just love living on the coast? I sure do.Quote:

The blues in that second pic have such mesmerizing depth. I want to drink up that sky. Great pictures. Great composition.Quote:

I have an entire SD card to download (one day - I'm still filling the latest one), and I'll put some up (I think there may even be a couple of me with my personal prize fishes)
Thanks for sharing your photos Varenne.
I was curious about the "tunnel vision" effect as well. The border characteristics look similar to those produced by a polarizing filter.
The pastel colors remind me of older postcards that were hand painted.

Thank you, Mystyry and Gilliatt. The colors of the day were real. I did have a filter on that darkened the edges. I forgot about it as I was snapping away, so they all have it. Not that I mind. I'm pleased with the way they turned out. It probably is my favorite filter, although I do love red washes.
Those waves got huge as the day went on. In the evening and for the next day they closed the beach and pier because the water was hitting the roof of that cafe in picture 4. People were surfing right up to the last. 20-40 foot faces on those waves at their biggest. I wish I had pictures of those. Maybe next time. In the next year I'll be getting an under water camera. Very very excited about that. :D

Cute nieces. I like the shot sitting on tiger, nicely done.
Yea, that's the Cayman Blue Iguana, it's about 3 feet long, but I crawled really close to him, and he was none to happy.
Excellent pictures, Tony and Snow. Those animals are lovely, Tony. Your niece is adorable, Snow.
