FIGURED I WOULD MAKE MY FIRST POST A GOOD ONE, THESE WERE TAKEN ON BONAIRE DUIRING A RECENT SCUBA DIVING TRIP. THEY WERE TAKEN WITH A COMPAQ 3.1 CHEAP DIGITAL CAMERA. PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS SAID I HAVE A GOOD EYE FOR PHOTOS, WHAT DO YOU THINK

THESE HAVE NOT BEEN PHOTOSHOPED OR EVEN COLOR CORECTED AND ARE MY WORK
HOPE YOU ENJOY

Nice shots. The first photo I wouldve chopped the branch off, but I like the 2nd and 3rd ones. Nice composition and lighting. How about some more close-up pics of the lizzard?

I really like the third shot - what are those little white huts? The sunset is nicely done as well

Again, Puzzle and I agree: I like those best of the series, too. And also I am wondering what those white huts are there for ?

As to the first, I really do not like the palm branch in the picture. It does not add but distracts from the beautiful scenery with the little dragon in the foreground.

the white huts are slave houses. bonaires main source of income was and still is sea salt. so they used slave labor for this. but no longer do. these were called white slave, there was also yellow slave and green slave.
