Nature: I gave it my best shot: C&C welcome
 

First of all, thanks for looking.<img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="biggrin" smilieid="106" class="inlineimg" /> it's pretty nice when people take time out to personally check out my threads! thanks so much. These pictures are my novice attempts at nature photography...All taken over a year's time, throughout different seasons. Taken with a Sony Cybershot, point and shoot camera(which, personally, I think is GARBAGE, but sometimes you have to use what you GOT!<img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Wink" smilieid="35" class="inlineimg" /> ) So let me know what you think<img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Mr. Green" smilieid="44" class="inlineimg" /> Thanks so much!</p>

<p>I took this photo last December at the beach in Tela, Honduras...ahhh the Carribbean Sea is unmatched in it's beauty! It was a beautiful day with amazing lighting and I couldn't put my camera down! This shot was rather unplanned for; I stepped out of my flip flops to get some pictures of bare footprints in the sand, and when I looked up again a few minutes later, the tide had come up and the edge of the sea was feathering around my flip flops. I saw the photo opportunity, and....well this is the result:</p>
