    Hey Cookie...........nice shot! I like the reflection in the water! Oh...........that whale shot may appeared to be photoshopped but I have the raw file to prove it was not! Sold the shot to the surfer who came my house to check it's validity. Mahalos for the kind words!

    Thanks for the comments guys!
    David, I was just messing with you with the whale capture. That's something you really never see and you know how it is with photoshop ;) Like I said, that was an amazing capture!
    You're lucky to go to Tahiti in September!!! I wish I could be there now. Hope the waves will be amazing for you! Cheers xoxo
