Wave runners with Nassau Harbour, cruise ships and Atlantis Resort in the background. Taken today around noon. Minor tweaking in Levels and USM PS7. Taken with 75-300mm lens, hand held, on manual settings, circular polarizer and lens hood. C&C welcomed.

Having a good time? Not really, I live here, it's so boring dammit ;)

Nice juxtaposition of craft, EA! :-)

[BIGTUFFGUY]

I'll swap with you:lol:

Nice mix between the wave runners and ships. i.e. exactly what Balliolman said, but with four less syllables! ;)

[PhotosGuy]

Nice, strong colors. Having a good time? Not really, I live here, it's so boring dammit Poooooor, Baby! Do you have a spare room to rent out until we get Spring here? ;)

Nice shot. Great colour transition in the water.

[Elisabeth-Ann]

Thank you very much for your comments folks.

Photosguy, anytime you want to come, we have a small hotel, nothing fancy, just a comfortable bed, cable tv, and a/c, very reasonable! :D It's really a tough life!;)

Wow, that water looks so comforting. How warm does the water get?

[Elisabeth-Ann]

Not sure of the actual temperatures, JT, but in the summer it can feel a bit like getting into a tepid bath. In the winter months, like now, it's way too cold for us locals :) Lots of tourists go swimming in the winter, though. :D

Mmm...that's my favorite temp to go swimming in. I can't stand swimming in cold water (ie: anything under 85). If I lived where the water was 85-90, I'd probably swim EVERY day that I could.

Lovely shot there, by the way!

[Elisabeth-Ann]

Thanks JT!

[Ross McT.]

I like the shot.
My only critisism is that the sail boat is blocking the front of one of the cruise ships.

[Elisabeth-Ann]

Yeah, that bugged me too - there are always 5 or 6 of those fishing boats anchored in the middle of the harbour - they are known locally, rather snidely, as the Haitian Merchant Navy. I like to see them when they put up their sails, they are quite a sight then.
