cool,calm and collected, a photo from La Digue, La Digue and Praslin

Photographer's Note

This picture was taken on La Digue, an island in the Seychelles. This picture was a short walk away from my last post but such a difference. The combination of the rocks in the foreground and the little tree covered island in the distance interested me. The light wasn't great but if I had had a bright blue sky and strongly lit foreground I think perhaps the feeling of the image would be gone.

Hi James

You're becoming a one-man publicity show for the Seychelles, they should put you on their pay-roll with photos like these. Love the title, which is exactly how you must have felt shooting seascapes like this. Personally I would have used about an f/11 here to get the "sweet-spot" on this lens and obtain an even sharper depth of field. Excellent colours, the striations of green in the water and the dramatic sky are remarkable. Great job, TFS and I wish you a lovely evening.

Warm regards
Lisa
