A place I've wanted to go to for many years and you posting images has not helped any!
I really like 1 4 & 5, pity about the lighting upstand in 4, but appreciate you could do little about it.

Cant believe the 1st image is real!
Looks way to clear, and to me looks like a PS composition.
Amazing. Crab shot has come out really well too.

It's a beautiful part of the world, a bit cumbersome to get to from the UK but well worth the effort, Aitutaki in particular is the most picturesque place I've been in the Pacific.A place I've wanted to go to for many years and you posting images has not helped any!

This was on a day with less than perfect weather so it's had a bit of PP to give it a bit of punch but it is 100% real.Cant believe the 1st image is real!

Thanks, this one was escaping from my daughter's crab detention facility that kept her and Dad (with a macro lens) busy for hours

Coming from North Scotland I'm not sure I could handle the sun and flat landscape, I'd be willing to give it a darned good try though. Lovely shots
