All great shots Heath.

You have captured the people very well. I envy those who produce these sorts of shots. I tend to keep away from photography of people, because I just can't replicate the results that I like to see.

Mont Blanc is great. Did you go up in the cable car?

Thanks pippin. The previous time I was there I did, but the weather was bad up the top so I couldn't.

fantastic stuff Heath - if this was the 'holiday' side of a big trip i can only hope that the 'business' side went as well as your photography......

absolutely fantastic shots Heath.

Where was the wave?

Could you tell us what lens you were using that gave such shallow DOF?

Thanks all. ajo, it was the 70-200 VR. The wave was at le Morne in Mauritius. There are more surfable spots in Mauritius, but the surf seems always nice and heavy, quite spectacular, in the south.

Wow Heath

Again you have witnessed what some of dream off and you have more than enough skill to capture it true to life RAW but thoughtful in every aspect.

You have talents i defineately aspire to an intuition for the moment and great interpersonal skills.

When I post images of this size, I don't like leaving them on the web for piracy concerns, so I will be deleting them, probably tonight...

I will probably post some more though, soon. Thanks for the kind feedback all.
