Yeah - I did... :lol: but it would have been perfect otherwise... the sun, the reflection, the boat cutting across the water... bellisima! :cool you were a little unlucky to get that spot... drop of water on the lens?

lets just call it a 'beauty spot' :wink: In india, in the villages, there is a tradition (or superstition, whatever you call it... :P ) of putting a black spot on things so that no one can cast an evil eye on them :shock: maybe i'll put black spots on my apps :wink:

Here's the link to my photo-blog, for what its worth https://theblackeye.blogspot.com/

I like the gimp pricing versus photoshop.

It does anything I need it to for the right price.

Did you get a chance to visit beachcomer island just off Viti Levu? That place looks like an immaculate little pearl in the Pacific, something straight out of Robinson Curusou.

Crusoe? :)

That island is actually pretty unimpressive for fiji if you ask me. I haven't been, but the areas we visited were much more impressive (in my own view)
