The Archipelago of Fernando de Noronha

[Otavio]

Dear fellows,

Here are some images from Fernando de Noronha, an Island chain that I visited recently. My image "The Twins", from January competition, was also shot there. The Islands are located in the Atlantic, at about 400km (250 miles) from the brazilian northeast coast. I am sure my images here (as well as the twins) wont make justice to the amazing beauty of the place. It is, certainly, one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The place has very strict policies for visitors, wich will, hopefully, ensure that next generations will still have the chance to find the nature in about the same condition. It is a sanctuary for sharks, dolphins and many species of birds. I hope you like the images. C&C welcomed, as always. Kindest regards,

#1 - Baía dos Porcos (Pigs bay)



#2 - Sunset at Boldró's fort



#3 - Lion's beach



#4 - An adult Booby...

Nice series, only critique would be similar shadow treatment to image #2 similar to #9 however the suggestion might lead to the development of a particular "look".

With this set of very nice pictures, you showed us a very beautiful place in Brasil.
All photos are very good, but #1, #7, #11 and #12 are amazing!
