Nikon D100, Nikkor AF 80-200mm f/2.8D ED-IF, 1/400 sec, f4, 145mm, Cloudy -1

This is just a snapshot I took while my wife and I were at the "Theatre of the Sea" in the Florida Keys last October.

A beautiful shot. Underexposing the ambient and filling it in with flash could have held back the bright spot in the background but that is very minor.

Nice saturated colors, I also have liked a darker background.
