Wonderful capture.

You are lucky to be living in this environment.

For those that have not visited the Palawan islands..you have not seen the best islands in the world..bar none.

Take care.

This is so fabulous. Exotic, beautiful and something I've never seen before. Itm makes having an 800mm lens seem the bare minimum, LOL!

Do you use a tripod?
