Another fine day for snorkeling, enjoying the views, and stretching the body out in salt water.

Thanks All; I just keep pressing the shutter and sometimes get a great shot. I particularly wanted to get the reflection and depth of field and luckily did with the jelly fish. Also, the sun was doing some great things in the water yesterday, wonderful to be there when it happens!

I agree, these shots are too much.....
A couple of times I asked Hillman for jpegs of some of his photos to use in interpretive panels for Culebra NWR cause they are so good, and he said that he only has a low res capable camera. I think we should encourage him to get a camera that has high res capability and broaden those horizons! Incredible shots Hillman!

Once again PR is excluded. Why am I not surprised. We have been treated as second class citizens for so long we don't even complain anymore. Well, sometimes (as in Anibal, the Gov, complaining about the FBI handling of the death of Filiberto Ojeda).
I spend a good amount of my time teaching the citizens of Tampa, FL that we are
US citizens like them except when we live in the island, where many of our rights are taken away. Hopefully things will change one day for the better.
Anyway, that is a beautiful shot with the jellyfish.

I haven't checked it out but it may have to do with PR's gaming laws. Some states can't enter contests either. I'll ask around.
