Tropical Island Paradise

[neil_r]

A few cliché shots of a tropical island, the last one shows some significant cloud, but luckily no storm that day.

I do it in photoshop, I have created an action that resizes and colours the canvas to build the border.

Great Pics!!!!

[skade]

Omg they are awesome!! I especially like the last one!

[lomond]

Neil, those are wonderful shots.
The composition, saturation, tonal range, as John said these would grace any cover.

Since you ended with C&C welcome, I would mention you suffer slightly from the same problem I have.
That is the horizon slightly slopes to the right on 2 & 4.
I'm embarrassed to mention it, it's such a small point. :o

You are right, I never noticed, I had better measure my legs :D .

Many thanks

Excellent pictures, all of them!

Nice shots Neil, I take it you had a good time? You got some good diving shots, especially of the turtles.

[neil_r]

I take it you had a good time? Oh yes, we will certainly be going back. Due to the aircraft going tech at Gatwick we had to spend an extra 2 days on the island, oh its a hard life.

You got some good diving shots, especially of the turtles. Yes lucky with the turtle we spotted it at a 5mtr safety stop. I did not take the camera on any of the drift dives (well I did, but did not take it out of my pocket) but we saw plenty of black and white tips, rays and huge napoleon.

A fantastic time......

That's something Canon should fix for you... a water level thingy in the viewfinder would be excellent for us with problems getting the horizon in a straight line... :lol:
