    How does one have a "quick" trip to the Galapagos? eek7.gif Seriously, these are great and #3 is quite the capture!

    Great shots, Joel. And I'm not just saying this because I happen to be a JoelG as well. :giggle Seriously, your images are interesting and sharp. I love that "friendly nibble" shot in your gallery.

    It's my dream to visit the Galapagos some day. Did you see much else there besides turtles?

    You're very fortunate to get to travel to all these exotic places.
    Not too many people get to experience these ancient creatures.
    You did a fine job in your capture, especially the expression in #3.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Fantastic series. You're very fortunate to visit those Islands and also to be able to make such beautiful captures.

    Thanks for sharing.
