About No abstract here, or any cropping, sharpening or otherwise....just a great moment on Mambo Beach at the end of the day, thought the light would be too bright, which is:)) But for me it was a wonderful moment!! Watching the big ship comming in just behind the palmtrees, wonderful!

This is for my sweet friend Nicki,
hoping this reminds you of sunny and
happy days in the Caribbean:)

I just need ONE smile from you

So, if you know the Caribbean very well you must
have seen and been there much more then I have..
lolll
But I think your beautiful country has so much to offer as well, I am very jealous about your weather, the sea, mountains and tappa's..:))
Sleep well dear friend, Jenxx

Je mag ook wel in het Nederlands zeggen dat je
het niets vindt:) Ik heb de foto recht tegen de
zon in gemaakt, is er wellicht niet mooier door
geworden maar ik vond het wel bijzonder met de
kleuren en het schip aan de horizon...
In ieder geval bedankt voor je commentaar,
wens je welterusten, Jen

A very high contrast situation, you handled it well.. those yellow cast must be coming from a warm low light... very wide range of exposure on the different element in the picture..
nice silhouette shot Jen..
regards..

Perfect subject for the silhouette in the foreground framing the scene behind. I was originally going to suggest converting it to pure B&W, but actually I think it works rather well as it is - just a hint of colour in the background scene.
