Very nice! You only see that color turquoise water in the Carribean. Now I need to go to St. John. Personally, I would have used a little lower HDR strength, but that's just me.

WOW! Fantastic colors. Joel's right in that water like that is very specific, and you showcase it very well. My only complaint is that your masking is obvious in the clouds above. I think darkening those to bring out the drama is spot-on, but it's just a bit over the top for realism.

Thanks for the input all!

Kdog that was low for me
Schmoo, I will take a look at reducing the blacks in the clouds. These clouds however were indeed accumulating rain clouds. If I remember correctly a couple hours later we were packing up trying to get out of the rain otherwise the day was perfect!
