Rabaul Canoe Man
This shot was taken just near some Japanese prisoner of war tunnels near Rabaul.
You can see the Rabaul volcano off in the distance, belching out lava and smoke. The first heli flight that day saw boulders the size of a small house being spewed up.

Man look at those colours … That water is insane Nice framing with the canoe at a 45 angle leads the eye right into the gentlemen on the canoe … I gotta get back to the tropics and start shooting again …
Wait till you see the colours I am about to post in a mo mate!

Stunning pic and great composition. That water is just beautiful…..I think we should forget Rotto and take a not so small detour on Australia Day… 🙂
Thanks Sandy…it certainly would be good to do a workshop up there, but I fear the logistics would somewhat unworkable!
