The reef in Bora Bora - Great Colors. A japanese friend was telling me that Kite aerial photography is a bit like fishing.. you are going out to catch images and you never really know what you are going to catch !

Pierre this is superb. Did you alter the colours at all in PS or is this straight from the camera? Really nice work either way but I'd love to know.

Pierre Lesage says:

Marcus,the colors were slightly altered, hence that deep purple which in fact should have less red. Will work on it.
