Back in Salto Del Guayabo in Cuba!

As today , I received a surprise from our friends, Christina & Frank . Christina managed to send me first her photos on a CD (^_^). As I am working far too many projects at the same time, I still did not take time to work mine . But they will come (^_^), for my TL buddies, and Christina too. I might add Martine is already waiting for my photos taken last year (^_^).

Ah life is too short, or time is passing too rapidly.

Anyway, I asked Christina & Frank to stand by the belvedere with the falls behind them. It was raining slightly. The visibility was not fantastic . therefore I used the flash. The bright colors really popped! Christina loves wearing bright colors. So I added some to my frame ! In order to get the falls, I extended my arms and shooted downward.

This one is for you both my friends ( They are visiting the gallery at times ). But Christina never dared to join the ranks ! A shame , as they are globe trotters ! Frank is a talented cineast , while Christina does have a great artistic eye, and loves to take portraits. They both affectionnate the African nature, having done many safaris, among their numerous trips.

Have a great day everybody!
Robert

Bonjour Robert,
On avait hâte que tu reviennes avec tes souvenirs de Cuba!:)
Bien, c'est un beau retour! Excellent portrait de tes amis. Devant ces montagnes vertigineuses, leurs couleurs et sourires éclairent vraiment la scène! Bravo! Annie

A vertigo-inducing view, Robert! You are right, the colors really 'pop'. Great pov, nicely balanced on the left and top with greenery.
Cheers
Otto

It's wonderful, Robert. I think I would have went ahead and ditched the greyed-out sky since it didn't add anything to this one and would have made it look more 'golden rectanglish.' Nice-looking couple! TFS.
