A beautiful image! I can smell the sea and feel the water.

Wow, what an image, certainly a pearler as an advertising plug... Have some time off in October but won't be going to anywhere as exotic as Mauritius... Or are you just gloating

Was the water really that colour or have you bumped the saturation?
Image looks great BTW
Just recently back myself it is certainly that colour. The island is nearly completely surrounded by a reef which makes the beaches quite flat & calm as well.

I actually have a friend who owns a beach house there and wants me to mention it - I can refer details to anyone interested in a PM.
Stubbsy, the water is very accurate near the horizon level, there was a cloud passing over darkening the water so I have PPed the foregroung to better match the background. It is this colour at Grand Baie also, a little north of where this was shot.
Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2005 7:34 pmGreat colour and image.
Out of curiosity and to make myself feel worse than normal, how impossible is impossible?

Thanks mate. At times, outside the reef the water has a purpleish tone, inside when there is no coral or flora the water can get rediculously 'aqua' like the colour of swimming pool interiors.
It is pretty rediculous at the top. The top villa at Le Touessrok hotel is supposedly USD$7500 a night. The clientele actually choose by price, and want them to be as pricey as possible! They are said to be rarely empty. The world isn't fair!
The Royal Palm is the resort that has the most stars visiting. Recently JLo and Prince Harry visited. But other resorts look nicer IMHO.

It is me - I gave a friend my cam to shoot it from the boat, thus the height.
Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2005 8:59 pmGreat image. Incredibly straight horizon.
Shame that bloke drifted through the photo.

Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2005 9:19 pmI can see it now, was thinking about doctoring that pic up Heath and add a nice big Noahs Ark would look cool. Big white pointer with his head in it's mouth, but yeh very nice pic, reminds of when i went to Suva as a kid and seeing the kids swimming in water like this with sharks.

I think this is a great pic to show off the fairly minimal distortion of the Nikkor 12-24 @ 14mm. No PP as far as distortion correction.

You're convincing me that there are many other places worth visiting.

Yeah they did! And I have photos of them holding hands on the beach. The major gossip mags are on the phone offering me millions. Looks like I can afford to take you all to MRU for a little photo holiday.
