A land is born Photo

Photographer’s Note

Looking over the water at Santiago Island from Bartolomé Island an expanse of young volcanic features can be seen.

The skyline of Bartolomé is dominated by the large pinnacle-shaped rock on the right which was used for target practice by the US Navy in WW II. A naval artillery shell can be seen still lodged in the upper part of the rock.

A superb snorkeling site is situated around the pinnacle and while I was strolling along the bay on the left of the shot, the sea was literally teaming with reef sharks 'playing' in the waves coming ashore.

This is a nice shot of a really interesting place. The colours are great though muted because of the overcast day. The contrast of the rich green and brown is good. It may need sharpening a bit, and for me it's a little bit too dominant in the centre of the photo - it may be better to off-set it a little. But a good shot all the same.
