Yes it is. There were more exciting breaches on this sail, but somehow I liked the geometry of this posture on the part of the whale. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Sun, Feb 5, 2012 at 3:10 AM, David Mann d...@multisport.net.nz wrote: On Feb 5, 2012, at 11:33

Thanks, Bob. I agree with you about the blue. I processed the images quickly through iPhoto, to straighten the horizon and brighten them up a bit. When I stop having fun in Maui here and go back home, I intend to run the better ones through PhotoShop, in hopes of getting a more accurate and

Great catch, Dan! Water is very dark and, of course, so the whale's body. Does, however, add to the contrast and enhance the spray. Jack --- On Sat, 2/5/11, Daniel J. Matyola danmaty...@gmail.com wrote: From: Daniel J. Matyola danmaty...@gmail.com Subject: PESO: Whale's Tale To: Pentax
