Sailing in the Caribbean Sea is amazing. The colors of the water and sky cannot be beaten. This is doubly so near Grand Cayman Island. The island is protected by a reef all around it and the waters are emerald green.

The evening of this photo I was aboard a catamaran watching flying fish jumping from wave to wave. While trying to capture a photo of those fish, I swung around and found this beautiful scene in front of me. The sun was setting and a storm was coming in from the South. It made for an excellent image.

I ramped up the saturation a bit in post processing and selectively sharpened. Too much sharpness in the waves makes for a bad photo so I applied a glamour glow to portions of them.

I hope you can feel the same feeling I had while on that boat that day —relaxing yet vibrant and exhilarating.
