I do have to log in whenever I'm on a different machine from last time I accessed PUF. But only when I ticked the "remember me on this computer" box on the recent machine.
So for me it seems to work as intended (XP, Win7, MacOS 10.6, all with the latest (or close to) Firefox).

Bob, I had the pants and T-Shirt still on. But I know what you mean.

I'm ok with naked people on the beach in general, but I'm not so sure if you really need to spread-eagle out so that there is shining a little light down your thighs whenever you yawn.
I was there with my wife and the in-laws and my wife's mother is a gynaecologist. Easy to do a walk by diagnosis. Would have been as easy for an urologist...
Also I find it quite interesting that the ones that are exhibiting themselves in this way are not the ones you care to see naked at all...
But I digress from the photographic topic.

I also find it a bit too dark and a bit lacking in... hmm, don't know what exactly.
But I can see the qualities in it as well. First there is the colours, lovely and probably helped a bit by being on the dark side. The two pelicans being of different colour does help it. The light seems also quite lovely.
And last but not least, it's tack sharp.
The longer I look at it the more I like it. Maybe it's not lacking after all?

Thanks guys!

That beach certainly has some elements of a desert. And driving through the inner parts of the island it feels like driving in the mountains (not that I ever drove in the Himalays or Alps). That island certainly has appeal.
Here's another one I just finished working on:

Great series, Mat, well worth going back there again. I do like the detail in the last one, the mood of the first one. But I'm totally blown away by the second. Wow, great shot of a great statue.

Some more shots from last years holiday before I set off for this years round.

The beach of Maspalomas is what I call a sandy beach:

But this island has lots of beauty inland as well:

Ken, haven't you heard of the new CO2-neutral cold fusion candle?

Prieni

I concur in that assessment. Much better in this warmer tone.

It looks to me as if the white balance setting is off. What do you have it set to?

That's a good set of fishy shots. Like the last four, if I had to pick a favourite it would be between 5 and 6.

What I thought when looking at the first two shots was why you didn't go down on your knees (or at least a bit of the normal eye height). It usually pays to try different angles and view points with this lens. This lens is asking for over-the-top (when taking the shot and when pp-ing).

I do like the colours in the first one!
