Pack the car I'm on the way. Wow that's nice looking water.
Nice shot to capture the paradiseness (is that a real word) of the area, haven't been there before but that's because I have never seen a pic of cairns as good as yours.
Nice capture, I'm inspired by it.
Thanks Bob

An apt description. Sure looks like paradise to me.

Striking image - love the sky, and clear water.

Polariser on camera or post processing?

Please tell me this was taken with the 17-35 that you want to sell?

Suri,

Polariser - No PP

Yes!! It was taken with that lens.

This is a striking image, but I think could be improved with a slight crop to remove the distracting foregound - similar to what I've done below. If you don't like me playing with your image, say the word and it's gone :wink:

The colour is sooooo rich, love it :wink:

Stubbsy version is pretty cool

I love that beach... have swum with manta rays there... amazing!

I'm getting homesick.... :lol:

Lovely beach Bob, I must take a holiday very soon.

Fantastic shot, Bob! Really like the colours.

Great shot Bob. Is it just me or is the horizon a tad crooked. I like both versions, but #2 makes me think you could do a portrait crop of #1 and frame both together.

The color is so bold here, and seems really sharp too... Cloud highlights seems a smidge hot but ooh la la, what a spot...

I could just imagine parking the bum there with an esky and just taking it all in...

Posted: **Wed May 17, 2006 9:19 am**

The colours of the water is WOW!

Maybe the horizon is off a smidge didn't think it was noticeable enough to worry about

Stubbsy

I like your cropped version, but I also like the original in the context I was wanting to achieve at the time of taking the shot.

Thanks for your input

Great colours. And with a title like the one you have here I was expecting something more ugly.
