Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM II
Location: Cairns, Australia
Date: Dec 11, 2003
Galleries: Sports, Water
Date Uploaded: Mar 6, 2009

I took this several years ago. I had such a fun time on this trip. This is one of my top 10 favorite photographs. I chose this one in particular because I thought it would do ok on DPC, despite the lack of its 'Wow Factor.' If I even get in the top 50% i would be amazed. Either way, I dont care. I hope you enjoy this photo and if any of you have the opportunity to visit Cairns that you do the sea kayaking!

Prediction: 5.85

Thanks for all your comments. I really enjoyed most of them; for a few of you, I think you are visually challenged.

It certainly looks like a perfect day. Beautiful view and a great combination with the bright yellow color of the boat.

An idyllic location. Great water and sky. I love the tilted kayak and its color is really great. Just unfortunate that it's so covered with "things".

Beautiful view. I would love to be there. I think some heavier processing on the background would have helped bring out the detail better.
