Was lucky enough to go away on a trip for 2 weeks in December to Barbados and escape some of the winter. I took a load of shots though I think the majority were samey shots of sunsets!

Some of the locals:
No adjusting colours in photoshop - just exactly as the camera saw it:

Let me know what you think!

| The hare or whatever it is is a notch above any of the others although the cave one is pretty nice. |

Barbados? All right for some, eh?!
Liking those, especially the one of matey with his camera. Looks like you weren't short of a few sunsets!
Good idea with the single leaf on the tree although I think it needs to be further away from the edge of the frame where it's a bit more prominent.

I agree with the others comments. I also like the shot of the beach with the soft lighting and the palm trees to the left, but it would be a lot better if you'd shot it with less trees on the left and more shore/hills on the right.
Looks like a cracking trip though. And how much fun is night diving? I love the whole torches underwater thing which makes you feel like you're in a Bond movie. Did you see plenty of sharks? There were always loads around when I did night dives in Australia.

Yeah, in hindsight it probably would have been. Possibly even a short panorama may have been good.

Was an awesome trip. I didn't actually do a night dive, I did my first ever dive out there. I only had one short practice session in a pool and watched a PADI dvd beforehand. The people who we went with did the nightdive and it was in a wreck... not for the claustrophobics!

I did buy a disposable underwater camera which I used whilst snorkelling which was pretty cool, got some funny results with that and some ok ones! Diving with a water proof SLR would be awesome though.
