Florida 2011

So we just got back from our trip to Florida for my Mum's surprise 70th, and we spent a day at the beach. We went to Siesta Key, which is in Sarasota, Florida, one of the top 10 beaches in the world (at least it was a few years back). The weather was gorgeous, partly cloudy (you have to love that natural diffused light), about 70 - 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and the water temp was about 58 degrees Fahrenheit.
We played on the beach for a few hours and got to take a lot of shot. My wife picked up the camera and took some also, but her lack of knowledge and her refusal to listen to ANYTHING I want to teach her about camera operations and focus had a couple really nice shots out of focus, so I'm sorry about that.
Anyhow, we had a nice vaca, and are now back in Montréal and back to the grind. I just thought I'd share some of our beach shots.
1. Louis and Zora
2. Louis - Cue in the Baywatch theme!
3. The three knuckleheads!
4. Zora - Daddy's little girl!
5. Louis checking things out
6. The only shot my wife somewhat even got close to being in focus of Félix
7. One of my favourites of Félix
8. And the waves keep coming in!
9. Zora was pretty excited about finding a shell!
10. Félix just crawling around in his swim diaper after eating a few fistfuls of sand
11. Louis performing Baywatch again.....
12. ......and again!
Ok, so I can't decide which of the two last photos I like the best. I am leaning towards the second one. Any thoughts?
Hope you enjoy!

Thanks also for the PP comments. The post was very simple and I tried to keep it to a minimum on this shoot. All I did was adjust the exposure a little, increased the contrast and vibrancy. I added a glamour glow, just a bit and also sharpened the image. And voila!
