HAWAII
This strange looking duck caught my eye. The color variations between the blue bill, the speckled brown and gold chest, the redish-brown feathers on the wings and the other color-contrast just lit up against the black lava rock and the water. I shot this at a very high resolution so you could go big with this one.
This lone surfer is contemplating his dive off the jetty near Diamond Head at sunset ( actually 2 minutes after). Most of the time they jumped in too quickly to setup as they were about 200-300 yards out. THis surfer paused long enough to let me capture this. They use the jetty to help them to get out past the breakers. This way they get more Runs ( I mean Rides) in to shore. This scene will always be one of my favorites as it is so surreal and the sky was AWESOME!
I found this lovely couple in Maui in a tree outside a small shop. They seemed to talk to each other like this for the whole time I was there. The Guy (Im guessing) is the green one and he was head bobbing and gestering for the longest time. He finally stayed still long enough for me to get this shot!
