Wow, gives the beach at Juliana a whole new dimension. Truely shows how beautiful of place it is. Great Shot!

Very nice photo, Siggi! Those two approach shots I've seen for you (including this one) are just superb! The Canon EOS 5D and Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM make a good combo!

You get four big stars from me!

Cheers!
