Very nice sunrise. You managed to keep some detail in the boats, which I like. The mood is wonderful. On the right edge it is a bit overexposed and I see some minor flare, but all in all, nicely done. I would be tempted to play around with that one quite a bit to see what could be done with it (who's to say you haven't already done that).
The whale brings back memories for me. The last time I was in Maui, it was whale season. You could see them out in the bays quite often. We took a sailing outing in one of the old America's Cup vessels - so small group and crew and no motor noise. It was amazing to be out there among the whales and hear them spouting and such. I don't think I ever got any pictures to be proud of - I'll have to look through them again. You get almost no warning when they surface or breach and it is over so fast - one would really have to practice and learn the patterns of the whales to get some good shots. Thanks for sharing and bringing back some memories. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, March 14, 2006, 12:33:55 AM, you wrote: BS> Sorry, make that capital C, as in BS> members.aol.com/rfsindg/Catch1.jpg BS> and BS> members.aol.com/rfsindg/Catch2,jpg BS> Regards, Bob S. >>>From: Bob Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BS> Date: Mar 14, 2006 2:21 AM BS> Subject: PESO: Today's catch BS> Awoke early this morning in San Diego and went out just after sunrise.
