Hello, my name is Paul, and I'm a lurker who has come in search of ego-stroking feedback!
These were all taken on my recent holiday to the Maldives. Unfortunately the rainy season lived up to its name, so any idea of blue-sky-white-sand landscapes were largely forgotten. The local wildlife was more obliging.
The fruit bats were a challenge. There tended not to be too much warning that there was about to be a swift appearance by a bat, and the autofocus on my 20D struggled to be quick enough before it disappeared again. None of my photos would please a pixel-peeper, but the web doesn't seem to be awash with flying fruit bat pictures so I'm happy with what I managed to obtain (or it's an excuse to buy that 7D and go back again....)
More photos can be found on my site.

Thanks for loaning me your eyeballs.
